(...) I agree in general -- esp. w/r/t the official 4-wide cars -- but not with respect to Pierre's Element. The real thing has fairly pronounced circular wheel arches, and the arch piece more closely ties the model to the (not exactly handsome (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jun-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) Hi Pierre, Nice work as usual. I do have a couple of crits which I wouldn't bother making if I didn't like your stuff so much :) I'm not very keen on the use of the new window arches on the four-wide cars. I think your similar earlier designs (...) (17 years ago, 15-Jun-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

(...) If it is going to be available in the USA, which I assume it is, it is probably on a ship enroute now or being loaded onto a ship. Hopefully along with some cement mixers. Jonathan (17 years ago, 12-Jun-07, to lugnet.town, lugnet.market.shopping)
