Just saw an excellent new Dutch train at BrickShelf by Paul Verkaik. (URL) this "cab-upward" design ;-) later, James Mathis (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

Here is some preliminary eye-candy for the Southern Pacific cab forward 4-8-8-2 that I've been working on. I apoligize for the blurry pics. I took them in a hurry. But, please enjoy, and convey any comments or questions. (URL) B (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Looking more like the real one would be the use of 1x2x2 inverted slopes, so that the top light can stay as it is, but have so a steeper front/back side. There's only one problem to make it that way : I can't find such 1x2x2 inverted sloped (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hmm, this is my "still-in-mind" project!! Great design studies! Thanks for some more brilliant ideas to make LEGO bricks "sloppy"! But, as you know, I will make it 8-wide ;-))) Than the LOM Window wouldn't be wide enough. However, I will work (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

I like this model; the proto really lends itself to the LEGO medium. As I looked at the photo of the proto you provided, Ludo, I immediately couldn't help but to wonder what an MOC would look like rendered 8 wide. You would be able to simulate the (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

This is a majorly early design study toward an ICE type train. I don't think this design is "pointy" nor "sloped" enough to look like the ICE-3. Perhaps more like the ICE-Tilt or the ICE-dmu (diesel) unit. My LEGO ICE version 0 design study: (URL) (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

Ludo, I really like that engine. I love the simplicity of the lines; I really lean that way. I did think of one modification, if I may... concerning the stack of 2 1x1 headlight bricks (4 stacks in all). I was wondering what it would look like if (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Interesting. I'd assert that the clearance needed on the inside is a function of the width of rolling stock and the maximum distance kingpin to kingpin (the longer a car, the more the center overhangs the inside of the curve). I'd assert that (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.nclug, lugnet.trains)
