 | | Modifying 4559 - Not that Bad!

I recently bought a 4559 and modified it making it a solid passenger train. None of this portable compartment shit! I think it kinda works! Ireally like yelloew and black together! I don't really buy lego trains for realism - more escape-ism. I also (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)

Unless PageMill has dramatically improved (I last used it about two years ago), it is a pretty weak product in my opinion. It was okay for building a page but lousy when it came to site management.

THAT looks promising. Wish the nosepiece actually came in red. Can you post a view that is more sideish instead of nose on? Note that in Lego Loco there is an all red loco on the cover that uses that nosepiece... (...) (25 years ago, 31-May-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Now there's a less than experienced comment. You name a color scheme, no matter how ugly, and I can name a real railroad that used it. Especially restricted to white black red yellow blue... that's easy. That's a dare, by the way. (25 years ago, 31-May-99, to lugnet.trains)
