(...) Sorry, "Shaun's". Anyway, why am I helping this guy? I almost went mad trying to do a decent AT-AT thanks to Mr. Sullivan's models, and now he's doing trains! Shaun, can't you get into Belville or something instead? :) Jason J Railton (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) Great resource. Thanks! (if you like eurotrash, that is... :-) ) What do the years in the dropdown refer to? When you took the pic? More useful (if you are still enough of an anorak to remember) is what year the stock itself dates from. But (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm still building in minifig-stylee 6-wide, but it becomes obvious that these trains are smaller than a true minifig scale when you put someone in the cabin. But, 8-wide means that you have to do everything as a larger MOC, including any (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) You take every opportunity to remind us all of how great 8 wide is. We get it. Move on. Some people like it, some don't. Different strokes for different folks but stop prosetylising so hard, even in fun, eh? You're starting to resemble a (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

LOL Don't feel like you have to apologize;-) You have created an awesome MOC, Shaun, and you have realized (regardless of any blathering pro or con) for yourself the merits of building 8 wide (or wider;) Glad to (...)

(...) Thanks, Jason. I picked the German steam train to fit in with the motif of my other models, primarily, as I tend to lean towards utilitarian workhorse designs. Political ramifications aside, the German industrial boom of the 1930s produced (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) Sean - just want to say, _fantastic_ engine. You can't even tell it's Lego from the thumbnails! The working linkages on a flexible wheelbase are just amazing. But why a German steam train? Did you just have a lot of black bricks around? What's (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)

Here's a partial listing of the special category results for the contest. It turned out to be a very time consuming job doing the judging, so not every special category has a result. If I get more in later, I will post them. The contest home page is (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)
