Hi, all.... I'm in Minneapolis for a convention through Wednesday afternoon, but my flight back home leaves at 9:15 pm. Is anyone in the downtown area (I'm staying at the Millenium) who would like to meet up for an early dinner or a drink? You can (...)

(...) Hey, Tim. Great loco! The lime color scheme is very nice. My only complaint would be the lime slopes. It looks, to me, from the prototype, that the sides are flat. Would it be possible to use tiles instead? Or are you just trying to show off (...) (18 years ago, 12-May-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Thanks for the suggestion, Mat. I'm going to pic up some waterslide decals at the hobby shop later so I'll make sure to get some brass rod while I am there.

(...) I think you should have used dark green... I'm glad you got it built after I distracted you. I'm not 100% convinced by some of the details, but its still so much better than I could could do I'm not going to complain. The slopes to give detail (...)

Looks very good! ...for a train ; ) the angles and colours are both very well chosen and the overall effect is very pleasing on the eye! God Bless, Nathan Now is this a 6 wide or 8 wide... ; ) (URL) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(2 URLs) BS> (URL) Flickr> Hi guys, Decided to have a play with a NedTrain 700 class as I liked the colours and loved the device on the front.

Though I'm a NELUGer (NELUGite?), I'm probably as close to New York as I am to most of the NELUG events (I'm in southwestern (...)
