Toby is the worst model by far in my opinion, its hard to do much with what is essentially box but he would have been (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.year.2005, FTX)

Spencer, Very nice! The corrugated bricks are so much nicer looking when stacked with aligned seems! I really dislike the Santa Fe with the crossed seams. I was wondering if the 1/4 round roof detail was purposely done in 1 stud wide elements? I (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

After seeing several very nice stockcar MOCs, I decided to try my hand. One of the criteria was to use a 6 x 24 train baseplate, as I have a bunch from LL grabbags. The LL Bick-A-Brick had some 1 x 4 brown tile, jumper plates and (3)finger hinges. (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
