(...) I'm glad you said that, Gary!! Are you listening, GMLTCers;-D (They feel my buildings are *too large* for the new layout! One of my skyscrapers is 3 feet tall, which would make it over 6 feet tall when it sits on the module:-) -John (...) (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Yes, the primary purpose was to cut down on wind resistance, but other related advantages included: easier access to machinery when loco was in motion, passage along motive power was obviously safer when in motion, they were easier to clean (...) (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Not only BN ran these (named F45, FP45), and the walkway isn't covered for that reason. Wisconsin Central has the most right now, but the marron & gold is hard to model. Here are 3 pictures of BN F45's: (URL) this locomotive has one to cover (...) (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I agree with what John had to say. But this seems like as good a place as any to say that I came up with another way to do 5-wide hoods. Instead of using 1x2-tiles-with-center-stud plates I have started using technic beams. The beams are good (...) (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

Hey Mike- Nice job on the 8 wide! I like the turned sideways doors for front windows. I am trying to think of an all green line, and the closest I can come to is BN, which was actually black on top. So, you could convert all of your green on top to (...) (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) A fitting set of companions to your VIA loco. Consider adding some yellow striping at the beltline. I think these demonstrate what a few bulk windows and doors, and a few blue bricks, can achieve using 4561 as a starting point. Nice work. (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

|
|
Note - if you want to spend a bit more money in the search for even lighter/thinner tables, you can build ones similar to Frank's, but use BIRCH plywood strips in place of the 1x3s - birch plywood is extremely stiff and light for it's size. Use 3/4" (...) (24 years ago, 11-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
