  Re: NR-75 - The Ghan (The way it should have been done ;-) )
 
This is a great model. I may build it if I can find the parts: I have a suggestion. Put your name in the file as the author. If I build this I would want to be able to tell someone who designed the engine. I would probably forget whose model it is (...) (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)

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.

If 6-wide represents a 10ft wide body for American (...) (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)
 
  Re: NR-75 - The Ghan (The way it should have been done ;-) )
 
(...) 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)

(...) Excellent work! Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing. The Ghan logos do seem to have lost something in the rendering - have you built in real life? Cheers Richie Dulin (19 years ago, 16-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
