  Re: AUSTRIAN RAIL CAR
 
(...) Whoa! Really. It's not done with a separate brick? Having two parts that large rather than one seems rather unlike TLG parts designer. I believe you but I have to go look at mine anyway, just to marvel! (26 years ago, 3-Feb-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: AUSTRIAN RAIL CAR
 
If one wanted to be anal about details, Lar, one would have to recognize that the cab front on the 4563 has a 2x4 notch in front to allow for the headlight cord to pass, whereas the 4551 does not, which would make them unique:) (...)

  Re: AUSTRIAN RAIL CAR
 
(...) It's a bit of a misnomer, but it looks a lot like the SWISS railways loco which was nicknamed the Crocodile by the swiss, I guess because it was green and because it had long snouts. (...) Well, ALMOST unique pieces. :-) To build one, you'd (...) (26 years ago, 3-Feb-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.trains)
 
  Alternative driver wheels
 
Hi all I'm messing around with alternatives to the standard Lego train motor with its little wheels, since I'm into building steam engines (British outline). I have a 4-6-0 chassis running at the moment, close coupled to the standard motor as a (...) (26 years ago, 3-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention and I used ALOT of bad filenames. Those have all (I hope) been fixed. I have also added more content too. The address is (URL) sorry for the errors before. Chris (26 years ago, 1-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: New Trains site
 
Thanks everyone. I am glad to see I have created such a response. I finally finished the site, and I will be posting the rest of it tomorrow morning. Nope, I only worked at Lego in '86 and '87. Sorry, I was a bit vague about the front window. There (...) (26 years ago, 1-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Formation of local train club
 
I certainly would like to see a Lego train club in Southern California. I go off to these county fairs in the Summer and see other train modelers put up large track layouts(not always) and wished I could do the same with Lego but I alone don't have (...)

  RCX Train
 
I finally got my RCX built into a train last night (sorry, no pictures yet). Initially I didn't think it would fit, the darn thing is so big. But I got it to fit into a heavily modified version of the boxcar from 4563. To make it fit I had make the (...) (26 years ago, 29-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: New Trains site
 
Nice find Larry! The Trolley is really great. The support of the 3 stud wide front window is still a bit of a mystry. The creator says "The middle window is suspended by a connection to the light piece." I'm not sure what that means? I certainly (...) (26 years ago, 29-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Formation of local train club
 
Based on the formation of at least three other Lego train clubs (Pacific Northwest, South Georgia, and Upper Midwest), is there any interest in doing the same in Southern California? Gary GaryLouie@EarthLink.Net (26 years ago, 28-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains)

Master Modeler James as usual does not announce new stuff very well. ;-) Follow his link and check out his SLAG CAR! Very cool. Nice use of inversion, the entire car body is inverted but the slag bucket is not. (URL) drop center flat is also (...) (26 years ago, 27-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

  My first Original Train Locomotive Creation (age 9 or 10)
 
During Christmas Break my mom dug up some photographs of when I was 9 or 10 years old. To my surprise one photograph showed the first train locomotive I built. My only LEGO train set at that time (approx. 1979 or 1980) was the first blue track cargo (...) (26 years ago, 27-Jan-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
