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. (URL) And of course these could be made in parts (...) (19 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Or use jumper plates and build your train roof in a 7 wide, giving you one row of studs in the middle. Jeff VW (19 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 (19 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

(...) I apologize for leading this thread into yet another width debate; I was kidding around, but there is a portion of seriousness there that may merit consideration. I have cut some parts in my day, but only when there simply was no other viable (...) (19 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

(...) 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 (19 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.parts.custom, 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 (...)

(...) Excellent idea, Rosco! Mat, I'd go this way and save the time and effort for a different alteration that can't be solved as easily. JOHN (19 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to 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. (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.trains, FTX)
