Hi Chris, First, thanks! I'm glad you like my stuff. I found an older picture of the caboose taken at an angle so the ends can be seen. Check it out at: (URL) doors are just the plain old freestyle type that have been around forever. I used those (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

I just bought 4555 and 4552 from US S@H. Does anyone know if there is any chance for the 2150 or 4532 (both '96 issues) coming back? That would be great! (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Joe, Love your models. I was curious about the style of door you use on your caboose. Since the picture is a side shot the doors cannot be seen. Also, I would love to hear your comments on whether or not you think the doors that you chose are (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Even though this set seems good I do not think LEGO would sell it for $160. This set would be bigger than the current big set, 4565 Freight and Crane Railway, and your set would include a transformer. I know, I am nitpicking. From the original (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hmmm. I'm not a trainhead by any stretch, so let's see what I come up with. I envision an Old West train, done right.[1] It would not have to be prototypical, but the more prototypical it is, the better. I'll describe a configuration, I hope I (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well couldn't they just sell the train or maybe just the individual cars by themselves? I don't need any more curved track or another controller. I would like to see a good diesel engine and a box car. That way I could buy one or two engines (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

i think the reason we are not seeing any decent trains lately is because by their nature train sets cost more than other legos because of the motor,track and controller. (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

It would cost less than $150 and it would be a typical U.S. freight train, except only one of each car (including the engine). Track would include enough to do a loop and several straight sections in case someone wanted to run a train on the floor (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)

Well, what would be more prototypical than 8 stud wide trains with tight curves.... to me that sounds like narrow gauge. Although I'm not a big fan of narrow gauge, it would seem to me to be the perfect application. [1] [1] OTOH the minifig would (...) (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)
