So I was trying to incorporate my first favourite thing to do with LEGO bricks--working with RCX's and building robots--and my second favourite thing to do with my LEGO collection--building and operating a train layout.

(...) Looks quite good, although it's always hard to judge a model purely on a POVRAY/LDRAW picture (ie get off your lazy *&^ and start building ;) ) About height, the model indeed looks a bit "stretched" although I'm not familiar with the original.

(...) Nice work Swami and better late than never :P. I don't know what happened to the logo but something went wrong... As for minifigs, everyone knows they are tall and broad, not short. That's why trains should be six-wide. Sheesh!!! Tim (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)
