(...) Neat! (...) For further work on custom torsos, I recommend grabbing the program called Quad 2 Dat. This is a fairly easy 2D program, made specifically for people creating LDraw patterned parts. The main problem with Quad2Dat is that it's (...) (16 years ago, 6-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

I have been working at creating some custom Minifig Torso DAT files for LDraw. I should preface everything by saying that I am NOT an LDraw Parts author.

The San Diego Coaster. (URL) After moderation (URL) The engine is a F40PH-2C, and the cars are Bi-level coaches by Bombardier. It's been modeled before, but I wanted to use a more accurate color (dark turquoise ) and build longer cars. The train was (...) (16 years ago, 4-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains) !

(...) I suspect that on these plates and the 16x32 baseplate, someone must have slipped a decimal point. If they seriously are charging $20 for a train base...they're nuts. -Dave (16 years ago, 4-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
