The GMLTC just had a show in La Crosse, Wisconsin this past weekend, and I finished some Super Chief cars to run at the show. I also completed 2 B units (but forgot to photograph them up closely, but hey, they're just boring B units anyway;-) I'll (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains) !

(...) Congratulations, Mark! You have created a very pleasing and innovative MOC here! Well done! Among your original techniques I noticed and enjoyed the most is your method of compression. I know that when constructing large buildings in the (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ks, lugnet.loc.us.mo.kan)

(...) I'm very impressed with the level of detail and the cleanness of the non-90-degree construction. The roof is very cool, and threatens the uniquness of my "macro structures" building technique :-) Very nicely done!

What a neat technique! Can you see the underside of the tiles that (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.us.ks, lugnet.loc.us.mo.kan)
