  Re: New images of my 4-6-2 Steam Engine
 
(...) Nope, sorry. I'll try to get some next time i borrow the camera. :) I believe I posted the LDraw .dat file for it in the early days of Lugnet; that may be your best bet for seeing details since the camera doesn't have Macro. (...) Thanks for (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: SNOTgon version 0.9
 
(...) The front will be tiled in the final version- I was thinking about that when i took the photos last night. thanks -chris (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: SNOTgon version 0.9
 
(...) I'm not quite sure I understand what you are trying to say about spinning the headlight bricks around. Can you explain it a bit more? One problem though- the gon varies from 3 to 4 studs bricks high so i would have to find some 1x1 tiles. I (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Train building contest
 
(...) My example was hypothetical. I figured it was a pretty good bet the patents had expired. It was just an example of something where I strongly suspect that there were patents which would have been applicable to models. (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Good Diesel Loco MOC pics?
 
(...) Chris, you are correct. I actually was looking for MOCs. I just didn't re-read my message very well before posting it! jake (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Good Diesel Loco MOC pics?
 
(...) Hey, I have a thing for ~600 hp and less engines, I have 3 from one maker modeled (Nutty, the 600 HP (never produced) Sentinel/Doble GP, and the 200 HP Sentinel). Plus, I have one of Eric B's KoF's too. By my standards, your 1200 HP engine is (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Good Diesel Loco MOC pics?
 
(...) Nice switcher Lar. Cab looks a bit short (height), but nice none the less. It is a good thing you started selling your stuff, because there aren't many pictures of your train MOC's out there. By the way, if I didn't say it before, I really (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Train building contest
 
(for example, take the Shay drive train, if (...) Not in this case. The patent expired in 1922, so it is not a problem to blatently rip off the ideas. I believe even the Doble Steam car patents are now public domain, at least in the UK...and they (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Train building contest
 
(...) Given that both of the preceding are no longer in existance, yes you can use them...I don't _think_ that there has ever been a restriction on the use of a image (such as a loco) because it belonged to someone else, therefore I cannot see a (...)

  Re: Good Diesel Loco MOC pics?
 
(...) If I ever get around to making some MOC trains (almost inevitable, at this point), they'll all be tankers, covered hoppers & switchers, because that's all I ever see out here. On an average day, I drive past the main rail yard a couple times, (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: SNOTgon version 0.9
 
(...) I think it's pretty impressive. These ribs are probably heavily riveted, so some knobbly texture in the right place is welcome. No need to rush out to Tiles R Us just yet. I suppose you could put tiles over the front, then figure out some way (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Good Diesel Loco MOC pics?
 
(...) listing does have links to a number of prototype references to switchers from the excellent "Yard Limit" website and a few other pics I found as well. But they're all for switchers. Except for Steve Barile and a few others, most folks model (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Good Diesel Loco MOC pics?
 
(...) Boo! Bad form! Shameless plug for your inaugural Switcher which you are selling here: (URL) Oh, you mean PROTO pics. :-) Don't smiley me! ;^D -John (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Train building contest
 
(...) For non-commercial uses, there doesn't seem to be a real problem. I think the railroad companies are pretty amenable (after all, it's really an honor to be modeled). I have no idea what the commercial companies do for the decals or lettered (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Round Windows
 
(...) Hey, thanks for the compliment Larry! And thanks for the info on the color. I'll have to update my web page now and get rid of that appology. I guess my color reproduction was more accurate than I thought! :) And just so that you all realize (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Train building contest
 
I was just wondering if there had been any discussion about the use of trademark names. by this I mean - say I wanted to build a Conrail Locomotive, or a Pennsylvania RR passanger car, or a box car with a product name on it. Would this be allowed? (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Round Windows
 
(...) Preeettty cool One nit, Kim says that the original was light grey and red, I believe they actually were white, and the model he was working from had some weathering (I had a chance to actually be inside of one of these units at a SOO engine (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Good Diesel Loco MOC pics?
 
(...) Good MOC pics? Well, mine (among others). For instance the inaugural unit of MTW-2001 up for auction now on eBay... <grin, duck, run> Oh, you mean PROTO pics. :-) Well in addition to all the refs you already got, try the NMRA site, (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: SNOTgon version 0.9
 
Looks good, Chris! Generally, I'm not a big fan of exposing studs, because I think that they detract from an MOCs appearance. If I were you, I'd spin around all of your 1x1 headlight bricks, stick a technic pin in them and attach 1x4 tiles to create (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
 
  SNOTgon version 0.9
 
Just wanted to share some pics of a gondola design that I have been working on. Sorry for the bad pics. (URL) you can see it's a Studs Not on Top gondola. I used this technique to get a depressed center look. 64 black 1x1s with side studs are used (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
