 | | More Space Trains!

I became inspired by Jake's intermodal warehouse, and specifically by the idea of trains riding around on the Moonbase project transporting containers. I had left BrickFest PDX thinking that I would build some 8 wide ore cars, but now I decided to (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I'll say! Man, oh man that's cool. I happened to watch 2001 for the zillionth time just last weekend, and I lamented for the zillionth time that I don't have the wherewithal to build a good-scale Discovery. Here are my two demands: 1. Post (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I saw this at your site earlier today - very nice. Discovery has long been one of my favorite Sci-Fi ships, too. It's good to see such a faithful LEGO replica. (...) You're free to display it at my house! :-) James Wilson Dallas, TX (22 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hi Andrew, I like it! The small size (short vehicule) makes it ideal for the busy and crowded streets of any future megapole. Good use of color, nothing really flashy, red / dark grey / and black. I always try to use only 3 colors when building. The (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)
