 | | possibly your last chance for custom track

To all, I am currently gearing up to start a new career and I may not have time to make parts in the near future so I thought now would be a good time to let you know. If you have ever thought of purchasing custom track now's the time. I may not (...) (20 years ago, 15-Mar-06, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

(...) Hey mat, I understand your question about manufacturing parts and here's my take on it. BBB wheels were made because TLC basically refused to do it. Now the reason fans have embraced BBB wheels is because there weren’t any alternatives. I.E. (...) (20 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) No problem, as for parts modding. I'm well down that slope. I've been known to cut a brick or plate to get a needed smaller version, I.E. a 1x1 brick in dark orange, and making custom 9v train track. My first mod was drilling holes to wire up (...)

(...) You probably dont' even need jumper plates, as the 1x3 roof bricks can just be placed at 1/2 stuf offset on standard placed studs. ROSCO (20 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

(...) While a response is appreciated, I was looking for feedback on part ideas, not dogma regarding how wide I build my trains. 8) I am considering have custom parts made, or at least some prototypes. Mat (20 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

I really like the newer element, (2 URLs) But it'ts difficault to use in a 6wide train roof if you want roof detail. So I was doodling with a view other part ideas. And I wanted to get some feedback.

Way back in 1979, I was worried about the possible replacement of the Legoland town stuff that I loved with the newcomer, Legoland Space. Sure it was nice to get lots of grey, but, at the time, I was convinced there were too many specialised parts. (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-06, to lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.space, lugnet.town, FTX) !
