--snip-- (...) Thanks. I'll let me off too. I always think I'd prefer to have working pistons but when push comes to shove I just find them too bulky and go back to faking it. (...)

(...) Really nice work, Tim. You have packed in a lot of greeblie things which adds to the visual interest of the MOC. I especially like the croissant for smoke-- that idea strikes me as so Japanese for some reason. Are you turning Japanese? :-) I'm (...) (17 years ago, 27-Nov-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I think its the option I would have taken and its not really that obvious the representation of the valve gear and connecting rods hides it well. You look like you (...)

(...) I'd love to do it in dark blue, but I would have to sacrifice a lot of curves and detail given the lack of currently available dark blue parts. More than likely I'd be building it in regular blue. (plus BBB wheels come in regular blue) (...) (...) (17 years ago, 27-Nov-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)
