We (PNLTC) have discussed this also. A printed version of such a book would be great but costly. An electronic version sounds very do-able. How would the submissions be accepted? On what criteria? Would they all be accepted? Are there any ldraw (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)

The logo is almost refixed, John and I have been working on it. He read his docs and knows how to produce standard gif files now. Everyone else, thanks for your help! I agree about putting some hints on each car so you don't have to mouse over (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

The page looks great! I like the Milwaukee RR "like" LOGO. We (PNLTC) have been looking for help in the logo department forever. None of us are graphic artists. I know my way around Photoshop and other graphics apps but the eye is more important (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.general)

(...) In fact, it appears in several non-train sets: 6433, 6435 and 6453. I would say that claiming that it is designed for the train line is a bit controversial. But then again, I don't have the insight in the TLG design process that others may (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Uffda, and right here in my own backyard! IMHO the merger between Burlingtion Northern (excellent color scheme) and the Santa Fe (another classic scheme) to form the BNSF produced an abhorrant conglom. What a waste of perfectly rotten colored (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.trains)

|

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)

Larry, I would have to say yellow and white. Unless they have a Miami ViceLiner, I don't think we have a match. They are UGLY together. Of course, I have seen some ugly schemes... Mike (...) on your (...) (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.

Hi Doug, Looks like a good start! Did you build it with the boiler top horizontal to begin with? Does the stepped top in the photos look better?
