(...) I'm not sure what you're saying. That because Lego doesn't have a DCC system, arbitrary curve geometry, etc, that Lego doesn't *have* a hobbyist market? Here's the skinny: You've got people who don't care if we switch to a battery system, and (...) (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I think this mostly comes from what was mentioned last year at BrickFest about Lego creating a "Hobby" line of trains. I suppose it depends on the definition of hobbyist in this case. If you're talking in terms of model railroaders, then I'd (...) (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Your radiator grill is deeper than the inverse slopes I had in previously, and the small grill below the wheel was a 1x2 brick type attached to the base and not (...)

(...) Thanks for the tip Ondrew, I was disapointed with the stickers my ink jet produced. I am going to try using one of the laser copiers at my work at some point as I had a much better (and shinier) match to the LEGO colours. Chris (18 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
