This model is FANTASTIC! I saw it on Brickshelf after posting my train station. Do you have more detail shots? This building has so many small details and I feel like I can't really see them all. Brad James J. Trobaugh <james@ngltc.org> wrote in (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) So awesome, that building is. It's power of presence is immense, and the use of red as the main color is appropriate for a large city train terminal. -Harvey (23 years ago, 5-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

Holy moly that is awsome. I really like the white triming, it makes the building look very authentic. I think this a great model. Very close attention to detail. But ofcourse what do I know I am just a kid :D. Reminds me of the working coal mine on (...) (23 years ago, 5-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)
