Any pictures from the bottom side? Looking good. If you can get some old wheels from e.g. 162 then you can add the old yellow pistons to it. Sonnich Jeff Stembel <jeff.stembel@noaa.gov> wrote in message news:G8r3rF.2A3@lugnet.com... (...) and (...) (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 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 (...)

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)

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)

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)

(...) 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)

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.
