It appears this item is available again. Previously, this was listed: Sold Out. Now you can place it on back order and have it ship in 14 days. Interesting. Jonathan (17 years ago, 10-Apr-07, to lugnet.announce.lsahs, lugnet.trains)

(...) Same here on Kubuntu Edgy & RHEL4. Up until LDD 1.4 it worked, but some routines were obviously modified afterwards which use routines not (yet?) supported by WINE. (17 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.ldd)

(...) James, Thanks for your comments. The white trucks are what motivated me to build this. I used the tile on the bracing structure because it tapered from 6 studs to 4 studs and this looked better. The black plates are decks and so I left them as (...) (17 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Pushing the limits of length is quite a feat. The white accent on the trucks serves the overall look very well, and gives detail to what would otherwise unbalance the model. I like the smooth red tile for the bracing structure, but that seems (...) (17 years ago, 9-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains)

Here’s my take on a yard slug. Slugs are just frames with traction motors mounted on the wheels. The traction motors are fed from a slightly modified (added power sockets) diesel/electric locomotive that is coupled to the slug. At low speeds, the (...)
