Larry,

Thanks for the build-up . . . but one correction: I abhor painting bricks and
would never attempt such a transgression.  However, stickers and decals are
acceptable because they extend the creative possibilites without permanently
damaging the bricks.  The non-Lego color that you mentioned is probably the
dark green on my K.W.St.E. steam locomotive.  I'll try to post a picture of
this one tonight.

P.S. - I am indeed a big supporter of wide-stude train construction!

has to overlook it.

If you peer closely at some of the GMLTC photos that have been bandied
about, and you see something that looks VERY european, doesn't seem to
be in a TLG color, or has very fine detail coloration, it's almost
certainly Brian's work.

A huge treat if you ever get to see it in person (although I was a bit
afraid to touch it, it's that good).

Brian proves that 6 wide IS viable.

All, Larry mentioned a train in the GMLTC pictures that is not a standard Lego color. It is my beloved locomotive "Kathryn" which pulls the royal train on my layout. The dark green color and brass bands are achieved through the use of stickers only (...) (24 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)
