Some cost estimates (a bit of unfortunate reality)... $10 is barely break even. By the time you print a label, sleeve it, stick it in an a CD mailer, and mail it, your at ~$5. Plus the effort, the most expensive part! Even at minimum wage we'll be (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

I just got the 10014 cabose and was thinking of customizing it. I was going to make it 6 studs longer (from 16 to 22). How long can I make a car without having to go to pivoiting bogies? I may do this anyways. How short can a car be and still look (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nice model, if viewed out of a larger context. You captured the shapes nicely. However you may want to consider some selective compression, since the PCC is a relatively narrow and short vehicle compared to mainline trains, or even (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I can't say I would definitly buy one at $10ea, but I would consider it. At something less, I would be hard pressed not to buy one. -Jason (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

Nice model and excellent attention to part availability (often overlooked). Have you thought about the soccer bues for white windows? I didn't do a windows count on the real vs model but I assume they are the same??? Sometimes selective scaling can (...) (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

Has anyone ever replaced monorail bogie & wheels with anything else. I can't get anything to work right while leaving space down the center for the rail (without hanging up on the teeth as well). -- Acme! Comics 115 W. North St. Normal Illinois (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

It isn't that much trouble transfering the gallery site to a CD. And with blank CD's costing $0.20ea, $10 each (including shipping w/in US) might be a reasonable thing. The real question is how many really want one for $10? send me a message and LMK (...) (23 years ago, 4-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)
