G'Day Just wanted to post the start of a quick little model using the 'new' 1x3x1 curved top brick. (URL) wait until these are available in other colours to build some nice passenger cars. Cheers Oliver Play Well! (20 years ago, 6-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

Ian- What if you tried to use those flexible hoses (the ones found in the Mindstorms kit)? My idea would be to remove the glassy pieces, and instead, add these ones, because they can curve (the only drawback to this is that you might not be able to (...)

Hmm, I think that a) getting over the bit of beam sticking down to keep the thing in stable equlibrium, and b) working through that tiny opening in the structure will present insurmountable headaches.

(...) For me, it's more difficult to raise my opponents end. That stops the JeffE sticker thing. So I think we should work on the premise of bringing our end down. (20 years ago, 4-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
