This is really cool. I love the arching roof structure. Captures the style very nicely. I look forward to seeing further construction. later, James Mathis (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

This interior rocks. Looks kind of dodgy from the outside but what the heck. Looks like it will consume massive quantities of parts (click hinges??), though, and if you do the arch all the way around, not be very visible. Perhaps only 1/2 and (...)

(...) If you mean an articulated doublestack... There are at least three examples extant. PNLTC members have one, I have one, and I forget who else. Mine is on my "containers" page.

IRL name and logo plates are often welded onto the rib bulges so "appear" to stick out. However they don't actually do so due to clearance reasons. If you're not going to be stacking your sebulba container next to other containers and not going to (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

I made some 6 wide trailers way back when I was first playing with train LEGO. But since then I have been mostly 4 wide. Not because it's right. It isn't. IRL trailers and boxcars are almost exactly the same width, (10' 6" I think) and 6 wide (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) I think I see one thing which doesn't meet my criteria, the tile will not be flush with the surface of the wall, it will stick out 1/2 plate thickness. My solution leaves it flush with the surface of the wall. I don't mind not having an (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) Thin walls. Here's my solution, only problem being it requires a 1x2 orange thin wall. I don't think they exist (yet). I just built this on a 4x4 plate to try it out, hopefully you can follow along. On your black 4x4 plate at the center edge, (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

Here's a few shots of a study I did for the next WAMALUG layout, a model of the WMATA Metrorail system. We have been talking for a long time about adding a model of the metro system to our layout.

Larry, I thought you were a six wide truck guy? I guess I was thinking of someone else. I have been wondering the same thing; should I make containers 4 wide or six wide. 4 wide means I am ok with the old style containers and I can continue using (...)
