(...) Hi Jordan, Your streamliner set in the AMTRAK livery is superb! Let everyone consider your build and design unique and impressive! What a great way for both of us to coincidentally work on this concept at the same time. (...) My coaches are (...) (18 years ago, 29-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Seems that James Mathis and I were thinking along similar lines this past week. I, too, designed some streamliner cars of my own using the LEGO Factory parts palette, although I modeled mine on the "Metroliner" paint scheme rather than for the Super (...)

(...) And it looks as if you nailed many of the details. Fabulous. On this MOC, due to the various colors, the details stand out much more and are more apparent. (...) Excellent. Other than what I term as 'roof junk' I haven't yet been able to use (...) (18 years ago, 29-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I'd like to use tan (because it's not as bright as white), but since the windows are hard to get by, I'd also use white. Bummer. Jindroush (18 years ago, 29-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) SNIP (...) James, These are awesome! It's amazing what you do with the Factory palette! I love those undercarriage details! Through the windows it looks like you gave them interior details, too. Do the roofs come off? I guess I can check that (...) (18 years ago, 27-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Look at that picture of one historic tram in Turin: (URL) above color is a particular green (a light "Veronese" green), but what LEGO color should I use? Not tan, because it is too much "yellowish". White? Too much bright... the perfect color (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Thanks for the compliments too :-) I know the Manchester tram. It is a different version of Turin ML 7000. The TPR 5000 has a very close design with the difference that it is partial low flor. The modern trams are most similar each others, but (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks for the pics Luca! Interestingly enough this topic recently came up for discussion. I have a 1:87 scale car garage (first released November 1961) with a red door (Phil Traviss of UK also has one). Even though all catalogs of the early 1960's (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)
