Hi all, I'll be out of town from May 1st until the 21st. Just to keep you all posted. Will try to find GOODIES while I'm gone. :) Bryan (23 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

A few more ideas (uploaded to Dean's akasa ftp site): R-Yard7 - This idea is just me experimenting with track geometry. This thing would take up WAAAY too much space, and requires some fudging. It might, however, spark an idea in someone's head. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) As for the large spoked wheels, we could try using the large wagon wheels. They come in brown and black. The black ones appeared mostly in the Wild West sets, such as 6769 Fort Legoredo or 6765. I've got a total of 4 - I'm sure we could find 2 (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) 6 track lengths is only 2.5 feet of train. That's not very much. Even for a short train. I'm saying that 6 should be the shortest. The others can be longer. On a curve we don't have the room but on the straight we should have all we need. (...) (23 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I agree that the trains look much better parked on straight track. However, I don't think all the sidings need to be the same length. We will definitely have some shorter trains (ie. Thomas), and could save some real estate by having some (...) (23 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Robin Sather wrote: I don't recommend Yard 1 because we need a lot of room. I'd say the smallest siding must be 6 straight tracks at minimum. Otherwise it won't hold much at all. The curve won't give us what we need. Plus, Lego Trains don't look the (...) (23 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

I found some excellent resources for the Hogwart's Express train, including a page dedicated to the actual train used in the movie! My first impression is that it can be done quite nicely. The biggest problem I see so far are the large spoked wheels (...) (23 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Even though the engine is 8 wide, it may still be possible to make this one work as a 6 wide. I'm curious as to what Kevin will think. Robin (23 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Kevin, I came across this page, which has a very pretty little train (especially the face) that could easily be adapted for Thomas. It's still 6 wide, and quite recognizable as a face (I think). We could even build the entire face up by one plate, (...) (23 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Some more attempts at the trapezoid shaped yard: R-Yard3: Perfect geomety, but the "main" line is composed of all curves. Not preferrable or very nice looking. R-Yard4: Geometry is good, and the trapezoid shape works. Minimal curves required to make (...) (23 years ago, 29-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
