(...) Interesting technique. The front looks very nice, the sides of the nose would look even better if they were smooth. Nit... It looks overly compressed, but I like the grille tiles and the fans on the top. Chris (23 years ago, 6-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

I like the "striping method" and the look you're going for, but I do think you need to loose the standard train base plate and make it much longer. Nice job on the details, jt (...) ---...--- James J. Trobaugh North Georgia LEGO Train Club (URL) (23 years ago, 7-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | New MOC: GP7 locomotive
|
|
Here is my newest locomotive that premiered at our last show. It's a loosely-modeled GP7 using a striping method that I've never seen anyone try before. (URL) complaints, questions, tips, etc. are appreciated. I've got a number of other creations (...) (23 years ago, 6-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

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)
