(...) John, Bring all the trains you want! We would love to see and run them on our layout. Bring 6, 8 or 10 wide and run it on our 10 wide compatible club layout. All the main line tracks are 12 stud wide by 14 brick high. I think you got it mixed (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

Thanks. Could you show me legOS source? (both steam and diesel), I have no idea about music or sound. I can convert it to NQC, what I am using NQC is that I want to make all my programs that can be used both by RCX and Scout. Zhengrong (...)
