(...) Sorry, I think you misunderstood what I meant (either that or I am misunderstanding you) My thinking was that the sides would be much the same as you have them, but the whole panel would be slightly off the vertical, so the coach is maybe half (...)

Nice, I have been considering the use of the new 1x3 curved slopes for the tumblehome of coaches too but as usual I am far too slow! The difference with my idea was that the whole side would slope in slightly towards the top, how it would mate with (...) (19 years ago, 20-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) It was funny to see your post as I had James' boiler design sitting in my inbox from a couple of weeks ago. It's also similar to an idea I considered for my Russian L class steamer but decided against for the reason that it would be too hard (...) (19 years ago, 20-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Thanks everybody for your appreciation. As was pointed out the black 1x1x2/3 slopes currently exist only in the (URL) 4418 Dino Pod>, which contains three of them. So that would be a lot of Dino Pods! In my defense I can say that I sort of expect (...) (19 years ago, 20-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi all, A couple of weeks ago James contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in working on a preliminary design of a Hogwarts engine he had made. It was good timing since I was getting rather bored with no new projects so I started. Firstly I (...) (19 years ago, 20-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
