(...) 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)

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.

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)
