  Re: Silver Metroliner Pics
 
(...) The only reason there are no tubes on the other side is because I ran out:) 6 wide is exactly the right size for 2 curved and one straight tube (use a 2 axle to connect the bottom of the straight tube to the other corner tube. The other side (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Silver Metroliner Pics
 
(...) gorgeous coach, there, kevin! i mean _really_! i don't think i've ever seen so many silver bricks in one construction! the curved roof is especially nice, reminding me of the silver motor-homes of the 50's. my cat was very "concerned*" when i (...)

  Re: Silver Metroliner Pics
 
(...) Oh please! That thing takes 40 silver 2x4 bricks per side! If you can't get a Metroliner off of ebay, try to get 80 silver bricks. And that is also a lot of silver tubes- 40 elbows per side and 40 straights in the middle. Of course, there are (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ahh! You have shown the way to those of us who will never have an original Metroliner! You have redeemed the silver macaroni! EO (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Future Wild West Possibilities
 
(...) Damien, I agree with you on most of your points. I am currently working on a western themed set up in which I am mixing elements from adventurer, ninja, and pirate sets that I own. It is a coastal fort with a near by town. When ever I get a (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.western, lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.trains)

  Re: UK Reddifest Train Layout
 
(...) The brits did all kinds of things...islands, and ones on both sides. "my" station in OO had 2 platforms, one for each track (Long Marton, S&C). A lot of the terminuses had 2 tracks side by side, then platform, so only one side of the train (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: UK Reddifest Train Layout
 
(...) That large station rocks! The paired station tracks with the large platforms are neato. The platforms may be a bit wide, but using the large pieces is the only way to go, the mind boggles at the number of gray plates and bricks that would be (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Battery train sets
 
The really old ie blue track 4.5V used the old battery box, with the lever on top, rather than on the lower side. Train sets number 116, 120 and 127 (is the same as 116) use the battery box I believe you are refering to. The design for the coal (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: UK Reddifest Train Layout
