|
| (...) Absolutely awesome work John. I love the use of the Duplo Thomas nose, it fits in perfectly. Annie and Claribel look sweet. The power functions bit makes me very happy. It looks like he runs well in the vid. I'm tempted to build a version for (...) (14 years ago, 23-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)

|
| (...) Whoa! That is awesome. That engine is epic, the Maersk color scheme rocks on a train. Even the flatbed cars look great, and I normally don't care for flatbeds. This will look good along my BNSF and... ahem... Enlighten brand Union Pacific. I (...) (14 years ago, 23-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

|
| (...) I remember that one well. Excellent :) (...) This is true. But making this took my entire luggage allowance so any expansion would involve mailing stuff etc. Doable but a pain. I have actually considered that style of project for my own, very (...) (14 years ago, 22-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

|
| (...) Thanks, I didn't get any good shots of the hotel but let's say it was inspired (ahem copied) by your work. I'll fix it up and take some pics sometime. I've also got a three piece MOC that I think you'll dig. Tim (14 years ago, 22-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I've got to say though, tossing those tiny rolls was murder. (...) (14 years ago, 21-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Ararat 1972
|
| (...) Wow that is impressive. I particularly like the way you have ballasted the track and used tiles as ties. That combined with the "straights as a gradual curve" technique make the track look awesome. The quality of everything else matches and (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Hi John, I hear you on the 1x1 plates although I think the ballast round Victoria is quite smooth which is why it doesn't have them. Mike built the track and as one of the most pedantic train builders I know I assume he had a reason ;) (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Ararat 1972
|
| (...) Fantastic layout, Tim! I love all of the details; especially the track (;-), although I do think that you guys need to do a little 1x1 plate greebling around the track beds to break up the uniform stud pattern. Is the plan to detail all around (...) (14 years ago, 20-Jan-11, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
