I've beefed up the Bricktopia train/monorail terminal, making it bigger, and adding numerous architectural details. The photographs are also now much better. You can see the main page here: (URL) features include a smoke evacuation (using the new (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.arch)

| | Rock Raiders Patrol Train
|
|
This a little Train oriented MOC that I whipped up on a rainy 4th of July afternoon. It uses various parts (less than 50 I think) plus a basic train motor assembly. I call it the 'Rock Raiders Patrol Train' While the yellow seems to work, I wish TLC (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.underground)

(...) Right, take a look at these pictures. I've set up a row of 1x2 bricks, each set 1/10 of a stud further back than the last: (URL) Anything from 1/10 to half a stud of recess could be concealed inside a 6-wide wagon. Jason J Railton (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Your right this does make it a little tippy. I forgot to mension I was building 8 wide, so I was using a technic plate to mount the truck to the body of the engine. This along with the extra width of the engine, and the extra length I used on (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Oops, I meant 6x4. I find if you're centreing the pin plate you can tile a 7x4 area around it without having any turning problems on a 6x28 baseplate. It's a shame those old 2x3 helicopter rotor mounts don't have the right size pin on them. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) What you need to do is put some tiles around the pin-plate. Not right to the ends of the bogus motor block, but about the 6x6 size of a normal bogey plate. If you do take the tiles right to the end, it won't rotate properly under the wagon (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ah, I get it now. Very subtle. By the way, I can now do 1/10 stud offsets! It's a bit small to look any good, but it's possible. You use a 2x1 plate with centre stud. That sets you 1/2 a stud, or 5/10, back from the normal row of studs. Then (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
