I was actually the other end of the 24hr build challenge and we've been having a mini scale war off Lugnet for a while. Of course the (...)

This is a great model. I may build it if I can find the parts: I have a suggestion. Put your name in the file as the author. If I build this I would want to be able to tell someone who designed the engine. I would probably forget whose model it is (...) (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) If you said 6-wide represents an 8ft wide coach body, a minifig is 41mm / 48mm x 8ft = 6'10" tall and 16mm / 48mm x 8ft = 2'8" wide at the waist (standard minifig with hair but no rucksack).
