| (...) I don't know if you noticed but I used dark gray inverse slopes underneath. They really help hint at the curvature the way light gray or black do not. It was a total accident, I had alot of dark gray slopes and diddn't have many light gray (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Looks a lot like the real metroliner, although the loco looks a little uhh... fast for this train. (I'm looking at a pic in the book "Supertrains", which is a great book for pics of fast trains) Alan Random set: <set:6373> (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Neat. You got the RDC shell appearance as close as you can without being able to do the tumblehome. Better than John did, actually. But man that's a lot of corrugated! (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| That's the one. Here's my version: (URL) 6 wide and uses no train windows (except for the doors). I liked that currogated brick design so much I had to try it out. I used the pictures of the o gauge metroliner at the train show for the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Oh man, why didn't TLG do all their containers the same as 1651?? The Ccolor Line and Maersk newer promo sets use 4x12 containers. They're plug compatible, at least sort of. I use a 2x2 tile every 4 studs so a 4x8 has 2 and a 4x12 has 3. Most of the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

| | | | | Containers
|
| I've been on and off thinking about containers (for ships, trucks, and trains). One of the things I'm wondering is if all the LEGO sets which have containers use the same dimensions? The other thing I'm wondering is if I should set my own standards (...) (25 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
