  Re: What is a boogie plate?(is Lego making dancing bricks?)
 
(...) That would be true, if LD had listed bogie plates for sale, but they haven't. They have listed boogie plates though, and the picture, I admit, looks suspiciously like a bogie plate. ;) Maybe dancing trains is what you guys aren't allowed to (...)

  Re: What is a boogie plate?(is Lego making dancing bricks?)
 
No, but they are making elements representing famous Hollywood actors....;-) I think you mean "bogie" plates. Bogie is another term for truck, or simply the wheels. The 4x6 plate with a pin that holds the truck to the train plate is called the bogie (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)
 
  What is a boogie plate?(is Lego making dancing bricks?)
 
I ask because I saw it as an item in the Lego Bulk S@H. Not being a train person forgive me if the answer is obvious. But c'mon, the name is really funny. :^) Jonathan (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)
 
  New images of my 4-6-2 Steam Engine
 
A couple weeks ago, I snapped a few new images of my 4-6-2 Steam Engine, and posted them to Brickshelf. I thought you all might like to see them. :) Some of you may remember it from the Legoland California Legofest held opening day. :) (URL) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: The effects of Bulk Sales are evident....
 
(...) Ya, but I thought that the entire layout was only about 16'x16'. That means, that your smallest building is about 2x the size of the layout :) (no, a 26x50 building is not all that big. I tend towards 32x32 as a max size for normal buildings, (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: Round Windows
 
(...) You can to the the PNLTC site and look under the engine gallery section. Someone made a Union Pacific F-7 unit using those round yellow submarine windows. John Warren (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Okay, here's a for instance. Three of my buildings' footprints are: 28 x 44, 26 x 50, and 30 x 42. Surely those aren't "monstrosities"! Who's with me here? -John (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: The effects of Bulk Sales are evident....
 
Warning, a bit rambly post on the theory of realistic building scenes. (...) They (the MichLUG buildings) were stunning buildings but I think they suffered from not being close enough together. Anything 5 stories or more ought to be cheek to jowl (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

  Re: Technic Tank Treads/Coveyer belt!
 
(...) I did. For a partly horizontal / partly low sloped section that I used to transport the goods away from unther the track and out of the dumping bin, I've made a kind of track from pairs of the old 4,5V/12V rails with a 2 studs wide gap between (...)

Steve & All, (...) Indeed. At our show at GATS here in Michigan, we had some interestig things, huge buildings by Chris Leach, and some LEGO scale buildings as well. We were fortunate that we had a lot of room, but it is something to consider for (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: The effects of Bulk Sales are evident....
 
(...) Tall isn't the problem (although transportion is an issue). Footprint is the issue. And one big building might be okay but we can't cram a dozen of 'em in there. So overall we need to shoot for something between "Lego corporate" scale and (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: The effects of Bulk Sales are evident....
 
(...) People say *I'm* loud... til they meet J2. My ears STILL hurt from that limo ride 9 days ago and that was *after* he lost his voice. Did you guys get all that sound deadening paneling up in Conan's basement yet? Does it help any? I've got some (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: The effects of Bulk Sales are evident....
 
<snipped a whole bunch> We'd only argue with you about black being black because you would most certainly argue that to be black it had to be the size of a 2001 monolith. <grin> I like mini-land too, but that's not what we're aiming for. I know we (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: Bulk pack 3737
 
(...) Send the plates back. One way to make the LEGO Company realize that quality is slipping is to return defective items to them. Is there a consumer services phone number? (I think there is, but I cannot remember.) Chris (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: The effects of Bulk Sales are evident....
 
(...) I could say that black is black, and I'd get an argument from you guys:-) (...) Good luck squeezing 20 into the space of my 6. They will all have to be Pizza Shacks;-) (...) Exactly. That's the great thing about skyscrapers-- they are very (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: The effects of Bulk Sales are evident....
 
John proportionality is important, but I don't think your buildings are too large. Perhaps their layout is too small??? :-) Actually the best look is what I call the "cluster look". It looks better if you have large structures in groupings. Say 3 (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
 
  Re: The effects of Bulk Sales are evident....
 
(...) Yes John, we're "listening". Since your 'inside voice' is approximately the same volume level as a jackhammer, it's hard NOT to listen to you. Of course we still don't agree with you... Would you rather have a town of 20+ smaller buildings, or (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
