(...) Vool MOC for sure! I really like the cowcatcher design. I bet you are looking forward to the new track geometry that's supposed to be coming out soon - that way a long engine like yours will look more prototypical when going around larger (...)

Hey Tony, this looks really good. The photos are very nice. I especially like the pics of the Locomotive and the way the passenger car tops come off. I was wondering do other Train Builders use that 2x2 printed plate as a boiler furnace door lid? (...) (16 years ago, 17-Feb-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

(...) That is the downside of doing things with the current PF parts. I'm hopping that when the new train specific stuff come out that it will be a pretty simple retrofit. And if I can I'd like to work the new smaller rechargeable battery that's so (...) (16 years ago, 16-Feb-09, to lugnet.trains)
