(...) The hook hands work brilliantly and doesn't have the funny angle of minifig hands. The side rails of the SD90 have a piece of 14 gauge copper wire shoved down the middle to help keep the shape, but it doesn't expand the tube at all. The cross (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

I dont know for sure but didnt Winston pass away a long time ago. In MR there was an article about him in '98 and said he had died. (...) I dont think so, on my latest trip to Alaska we stopped at Skagway (where the yukon gold rush was started) And (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nope. He did take some colour photos. However, the vast majority of the night photographs are black and white photographs. I think that you probably shouldn't go wildly scanning in his images, because people get mad when you go doing that (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

Lookin' good! Big, powerful, well detailed. The silver grills adorning the sides of the subway car are great! The ladder on the caboose is very clever. If that's been done before, sorry I didn't notice. It looks very nice. I'm looking forward to (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

I like the SD90MAC, I had a 6 wide version of the SD90MAC, maybe i should go for an 8-wide version of the SD90MAC-H. My SD90 just didn't look good, it seemed small. Josh (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

Dan, Sounds interesting. As long as you are soldering LEDs, maybe you could wire a blue one between the wheels and have it brush against contacts in the track intermittantly to create the blue arcing effect so typical of these trains. Now that would (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

Great set of MOCs! It's so fun to be overwhelmed by an on slaught of MOCs. The capt'n hook handrails are great, although I don't think I can get any of those back from my prirate crazed 5 yr old son! And one on of my favorite pass times is to use (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
