(...) I like this part and its related cousin the 1x4-1x2 bracket. Both of them are great for SNOT. (21 years ago, 9-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm no trainhead, but I love that piece! Just used those to attach the fins on my Sea Monkey Angelfish. Sean (URL) (21 years ago, 9-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I did hesitate to make this poster with a black background. I had seen a large train poster with good drawings (not LEGO) that Steve Barile has. It has a black background, and I thought that it looked elegant, as if backed with black velvet (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | new(ish) SNOT part
|
|
I've not seen this part (URL)*part used in any trains before (I didn't know it existed before I looked at my new 4404). While I know trainheads aren't the only users of SNOT I would say there is high requirement for very compact SNOT structures and (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I love it. So many beautiful MOC's, and all on one page. They look so good against the black background too. But I definitely won't be using the inkjet to print that. Yikes. Thanks for putting that together and sharing all those great MOC's (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains)

| | Re: quick note on Ben's "beta" wheels
|
|
(...) Definitely flaged/blind/flanged, but I can't remember the spacing. I haven't modified the blind wheels for the new experimental closer spacing, so I think it's 5 studs between wheels. I'll probably end up re-de-flanging (John make new word!) (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hey, thanks for the update! Nothing beats field trials! What's your current blind/flanged configuration? Still going flange/blind/flange to get the 8 stud total spacing, or something different? (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I rebuilt my 'Challenger' (for about the 20th time) to use the drive wheels designed by Ben Fleskes. The GMLTC had our layout setup at the Jackson Street Roundhouse in St. Paul, so I finally got a chance to try out the Challenger with the new (...) (21 years ago, 8-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Now all I need is for everyone in my department to go home early so I (...) (21 years ago, 7-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Thanks! (...) Now, in light of a the UP logo use (which I didn't use), I am left to wonder if UP would hammer me for use of the Union Pacific name and livery. Uh, oh! (...)
