(...) Hee Hee This reminds me of the original Adam's Family. Gomez and his trains. I would imagine a Lego crash would be much more ... ummm...entertaining(?) than an HO scale train crash, of course leaving out the explosives<grin> or not ..... John (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Actually, you are not quite there. The train modules I and the GMLTC build are 144 x 96 x 20 1/3 each and adding a single brick to the top beats yours. Also, several modules are joined together for "one model" of a landscape. For example, (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

I just finished my black club car: (URL) also have pictures of a modified metroliner to get 2 passenger cars and an engine out of one set. Then just for fun I took some pictures of my cats playing with a freight train. see the txt file for details. (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.announce.brickshelf, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) (URL) - I'm notoriously bad at keeping it up-to-date. I've got 2 snaps of the 1st edition bridge - chain-link, single-track, very thin deck. Send me mail & pester me to take some more shots of it tomorrow when I'm at work :) I'll post them at (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yup, but I cheat a bit. The track is in four zones: 2 on the bridge (each of two parallel tracks), and one more for each turnabout. The bridge zones are trivial - each is only 7 track segments long. I'm away from my track designer, so I can't (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.trains)

You may want to crib from the GMLTC car shop. That building has actual roof trusses. They aren't load bearing in that building, but they could be. Most of the building is my work, but Conan came up with the truss idea and it's a doozy. It's not as (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

I really cannot figure out how to make a roof for it, so it is going to be a open air factory, (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)
