And, for that matter, they could stack end-up. In a low-gravity environment, again, probably an OK practice. (19 years ago, 30-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Equilateral triangle cross section containers stack ok as long as it's fine for 1/2 of them to be upside down... (in a gravity field, in 0g it may not matter)... IIRC, the containers in Silent Running were tetrahedra. ++Lar (19 years ago, 30-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

That's one sweet train! Nice job, and that's pretty quick with the rendering, too! How long has that container been up - a few days? One thing that's been sitting in the back of my mind, gnawing at me: the shape of the container. Every day on the (...) (19 years ago, 30-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Wow, Timmy G, I was hoping I'd hate this train, but I have to say that it is excellent, and worthy of Soren's containers. I really dig the color scheme you chose for the engine. Do me a favor and post that Rusty Duck moc so that I can fire another (...) (19 years ago, 30-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
