Hello all, I've just completed the improvement of my V188 double-diesel locomotive. This version sports the triple headlights and rounded roof. Also check out my improved silo wagon, both can be found at... (URL) me know what you think.-Harvey (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) In retrospect I must agree with Rick, I myself only build and run 9V. I can tell you now that the 9V track is a hell of a lot more reliable with less chances for stalling trains. -Harvey (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm the opposite. I say don't get sucked into 12v. The track is difficult to connect, impossible to keep clean, and unrealistic in appearance. I myself have a 4'x8' layout's worth of 12v equipment that I never use, but can't bring myself to (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Sell the lot for $25, just kidding!!! No, anyway it sounds to me like you have the good foundations to start a decent 12V layout. I'd say "Time to scour Ebay and Brickbay for even more!"-Harvey (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

Say you've just bought this box of old blue 12V track, mainly for the sentimental value (always wanted to but never...). Say somewhere in the back of your mind you're thinking, in a few years time I might start doing some trainmodelling. What would (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

Howdy all, I'm going/coming back to Victoria. I'll be off line for a bit (if you are wondering where I am). I should be posting again in ~3 weeks or so.

You *have* been busy, HoMa! An excellent creation, and wonderfully detailed as well! Very nice:-) I have a question about the drivers-- they appear to be LEGO, although the outer rims appear metal.... Also, no need to follow-up to .build; just (...)
