(...) Thanks. (...) Yes. (...) Nope. In fact, I needed to use a 1x2 center stud for that, because I'm 8 wide at the bottom. The car started out as an 8 wide, but counting the offset of the ribs on each side, it totals 9. Now I normally wouldn't (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The most expensive train set ever has been the 7750 MISB: it went for over 4000 DM (1800 .. 1900 $) 4 weeks ago. In my opinion these are rare sets of each series: blue: 113, 115, 118, 119, 164, 166, 167, 183, 722 grey: 7720, 7727, 7730, 7740, (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) It sure is purdy! I'll have to add this to my list of thing that I should probably try to copy. The ribs are offset by 1/2 stud? Did you go 9 so you could get that centerline support beam in the right place? Chris P.S. I don't think I'll ever (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

Actually, that's not what I was saying. In this particular instance, one can see into the building. And the ones next to it that are full of activity. If you can't see in, I'd agree that there is no reason to do the detailing unless one wants. (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
