Well after careful examination of my Lego i have come to the following conclusions: 1) I have no track 2) I have no train wheels 3) I have magnets... 4) But those are from M-tron sets.... Based on those 4 I have realized I have no trainsets... (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) as nice as your pencil sketches are, I think the community as a whole would be better served if you spent Ma Bell company time updating the photos page for r13 rather than droning on and on about your barbie train station. chris (21 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Most frightening of all (other than the fact you built and rendered that in less than a day) is that that's pretty close to what I had pictured, other than colour choices. Great, now I don't even have the build the thing. :) Calum (21 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I tried a couple of scales, but I since the clearance over the track is so high, I went for this one, since it doesn't look too out-of-sorts. I was aiming for a liver-and-tan colour scheme, which works fine in Real Life, but rendered a little (...) (21 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Not just that, what little space we had to stand in the middle has gotten smaller. I would really prefer not to have that extra module in the middle. It also breaks the rule of nothing being more then a modules reach away. I like the train (...) (21 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) That's actually been a real PITA for me-the EluraCar spec. Everything looks too tall because of it. Because this is a siding, I'm not going much beyond 10-12 bricks tall to maintain the proper aspect ratio. I'm also going to borrow a Sony (...) (21 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The only reason for the add'l module in the middle is to accomodate the fire station. I can't think of where else to put it. It's 2 road plates deep. But if we nix the firestation, that won't be too big a problem either. Dave K (21 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) While I agree in principle, I'd point out that, because of the way we did the tables last time, there *was* a table in that space, where the added module just showed up. Jeff E (21 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
