(...) I also have: 1 x 2126 1 x 4558 1 x 4565 1 x 4563 1 x 4564 2 x 4559 Maybe I should concentrate on making containers. There is a "standard" size for these containers, is there? Is it 4x8x3 studs (w,l,h)? Bryan (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Wow! Bryan, between you, Kevin and Dean, you obviously have most of the rolling stock covered. I'm just not a major train dude. It looks like you have enough cranes, container cars, forklifts, etc. to just pool your stuff and be done with it, no? As (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Some advice: You can make 2x the containers, if you use the doors from one end of each that you have. The 4x8 plates with the 2x6 studs on top only are the rare part. You get 4 in each 4565 though (so I now have 8 more containers that are (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) I already do this. heh (...) Yes, I was taking those into account. My 4565's in blue and yellow etc. take up some of my plates. (...) You don't have to use thin walls, 1byX work just fine if you are not going to open them... And if you are (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) Hehe no. You wouldn't wanna buy it. (I got it used) It's condition isn't all that great... The clear glass parts are kinda scratched up. Even after I cleaned it up, I would rate this as a 6 or 7 out of 10... Bryan (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
