In lugnet.loc.au, James Howse writes all manner of good stuff about a prospective train show. Don't see myself manning a stand (being such a delicate flower, and not being a trainfiend) but there are some things I can do: kick in some dough provide (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) How does this look? (URL) call it the black & white bridge 8?) There's only about 9 bricks clearance - I didn't know how much lower you're making the river tables. But there probably won't be enough space to have any boats going underneath 8?( (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Looks entirely fine to me. The bridge shown on the layout is only across the end of the river, so I guess if we figured that the ship was moored on the sea side of the bridge, we wouldn't need to be going under the bridge, no? Richard Still (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Looks good, though I'll have to check with Richard as to suggestions for the river. The height and length of the bridge will flow from that. At least bridges are fairly straightforward to do. James (who resisted the "cross that bridge when we (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
