(...) Your engine looks pretty good. But I've always liked the exhaust arrangement of the 4565 engine better, try this on your engine and see how it comes out. Just offering some constructive feedback here. Harvey Henkelman-Certified (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Thanks for having a boo. The red and black just happened. CN Rail is a sorta-inspiration but there's no white in my engines. I'm presumably working on it. Stay safe Dave (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) thought that red and black were a tough color combo to pull off, but you seem to have done a nice job with it. The white doors on the box car really jump out at you don't they?! (I know, you use the pieces you have; I do the same thing.) Chris (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

I got done with my newest bridge but this time decided to mess around with train ideas. I always liked the doors, windows, and color scheme of the 4564 locomotive. At the same time, I thought the form of the 4565 locomotive was nice but wanted to (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains) !

<snip> (...) Yeah I'll be starting soon, I like that 70 stud Idea, and the container cars are close to the length of a SD40-2. The well is 48' on most mordern well cars (In the USA). I figure 12-14 studs for a 20' container. Josh (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
