|
|
I've also been thinking of a 30" X 45" Intermodal yard, built with 6 15" x 15" gray baseplates, 2x2 black tiles, and 3 or 4 of last years train container crane (# excapes me right now). I'll make the cranes rolling, on old 4.5 volt track (If anyone (...) (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town)

(...) In that case, (URL) off my stuff was reconsumed by the collective when I started building bigger, but you can see my old stuff and my new stuff at my site. I'll be submitting pictures of some of these creations for the LEGO train building (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The reason why I knew about that one is that Willimette built rip offs of Shay's (called the West Coast Shay) starting in 22. Most anything to do with steam has passed the 50 year mark on the patents, and a lot of it has passed the 70 year (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(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)

(...) 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 (...)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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)
