Inspired by Shaun Sullivan's fantastic BR52 model I have managed to build a model of the same locomotive myself. I have just posted a ldraw dat-file to lugnet.cad.dat.models. Compared to Shaun's model mine is not intended to run over curved tracks. (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Agreed. Don't forget that in the process of helping to promote LTC's at train shows, LEGO gets to send a postcard with a picture of one of these cute trains to lots and lots of people. I don't think that's an accident, neh? FWIW, I'm not a (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) I have always wondered how steam engines do deal with pistons winding up dead center. With a car, the starter motor gets the fly wheel going, so there is already momentum before the pistons start firing, but with a steam locomotive the pistons (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains)

The trains currently on shop.lego.com are far more interesting to look at (IMO) than a diesel engine would be. Things that (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.lego.direct)
