  Re: Volume of 2-3 million bricks (was: GMLTC Modules)
 
Conan has his uncle Chuck. Properly fed and cared for, Chuck can sort way more than 1 brick a second. Trust me. Also, those 2.3 million bricks got sorted over the last 20 years (and a good 300,000 are not sorted as of right now) I dunno about (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
 
  Re: Dutch railways models
 
Very impressive work Eric. All the details are impressive. Everytime someone picks out something else, I go back to the site to see what I missed. I really like the building out of tan bricks, I guess I'll have to buy more adventurers sets to get (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) bricks. >With bulk tubs, it might be easy. Try to sort, seperate and store 3 (...) times. (...) It's bad enough having about 2 cubic feet of unsorted LEGO ...and some of it is partially assembled stuff, which takes even longer to sort ...and (...)

Todd, Although your math is probably right on (I didn't double check), mine is also not far off. Mine is calculating the number of bulk tubs. It would 1,667 to 2,500 bulk tubs to have that many bricks. Granted, a bulk tub will hold about 2500 bricks (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
 
  Volume of 2-3 million bricks (was: GMLTC Modules)
 
(...) Hmm, that doesn't sound right. If a 2x4 brick takes up .35 in^3, then 10^6 2x4 bricks should take up something like 350,000 in^3, or about 200 ft^3, plus maybe 10%-15% for storage containers. So 3x10^6 2x4 bricks would only about 600-700 ft^3, (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

  Re: My new Engine: SD70M
 
On Fri, 23 Jul 1999 07:06:40 GMT (...) I think I understand now (I understood how you made the signs, but I didn't understand how that could be applied to a circular rose window). Please don't stop using LDraw though! If you need any help, please (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Dutch railways models
 
(...) I believe that's a flex cable hose. They can be found in a number of Technic sets, i.e. (URL) 1999, these hoses seem to be replaces with some cheesy looking rubber "axles". I haven't had them in my hands yet, but they don't look to good, IMO. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)

Wow, amazing job, Eric. I can't wait until I can start building again! I feel inspired! Scott Sanburn (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: GMLTC Modules
 
Mike- We just finished setting up the GMLTC layout at the NMRA National Convention earlier this evening--boy, is it cool! The new sections are AWESOME! Can't wait until wet post pix, MPEGS, the works to show y'all. (...) The modules stay in a (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
