(...) Yes, I concede that I'm trying to sneak an uninformed rendition of a caboose by as European guards' van :). I'd be interested in making it more accurate, though I couldn't track down James' site just now ... I found a post mentioning that he (...)

| | WWII German Train (LONG)
|
|
Hi all, I finally completed my rendition of a German train from WWII. All told, it's over 12.5 feet long (over 3.8 meters - I believe this makes the double entendre in the subject heading perfectly valid :D), and comprises 11 cars: BR52 Steam (...)

shop@home put 480+ bags of 5077 sliding gates and rails up last week. Ideal for train boxcars. By today they had all gone :-( Hope you all got yours. I expect we will see them on ebay soon regards lawrence (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.trains)

Yesterday I promised more pictures of the GMLTC layout, here they are. Two buildings, a sand-red and white one by me, and a yellow one by Conan: (URL) need to put some sort of "Hotel" sign on the marquee...) A few of the hotel rooms are detailed and (...)

(...) Plates and technic plates are the great, and I agree they are likely the best way to go. But don't forget about the standard train baseplates. You just * might* find a use for one in an 8-wide creation; I did for my German DB 212 locomotive. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

I would have thought so, too. In fact, I did. But I was wrong. "Beg" does mean "ask for." But "beg the question" does not. Webster's Collegiate, 3a: "evade, sidestep <begged the real problems>." And 3b: "to assume a established or proved <beg the (...) (23 years ago, 25-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Bachman is correct. I saw it today in TRU and it is a nice little set - the engine, a tender, and two coaches (both different), plus an oval of track and a speed regulator. A bit pricey at $69.99, however, but that's licensing costs for you. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.trains)

(...) I have to agree with Sonnich. Most 8-widers seem to avoid train baseplates. I have not been able to work a train baseplate into any of my designs yet. Go with plate and technic plates and you can build to what ever dimensions you wish. Chris (23 years ago, 30-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)
