 | | Re: Trolley doors
|
| Leanne, Welcome to the club! I think that most trains have those kind of doors, but they are too difficult to build with Lego, so they just made the train doors we have right now. I guess that you will have to learn to accept it, as it is not going (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)

| Nine new pics. I finally had some spare time here with the scanner. With any luck (and provided we finish building in time) we'll have some .avi's of the layout from the train's prospective next month after the show. (URL) (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

| Hiya! I'm working on a model of the San Diego Trolley, and am trying to figure out how best to emulate the doors on the trolley. They're a sort of gull-wing type in that they pop out from the trolley before sliding to the side. Has anyone (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)

It seems as though nobody in upper management knew that NOVA means "It doesn't go" in Spanish. Being in California, I know (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains.org)

| I tried to build a Green Line car, got as far as a frame that properly articulates and the steps, but ran out of time and scrapped it... My sense was that getting the center portion of the body to properly bend will be a challenge. I've subsequently (...)
