(...) Carry on! Post (URLS to your site with) pics and invite feedback. I certainly am not afraid to offer good and bad feedback. :-) I agree it's hard. I think I'm starting to get the knack, though, at least when it comes to diesels. Selective (...) (26 years ago, 5-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Aha! Thanks Larry, I will keep an eye out for those. I think for now I'll replace the 4x4 round and make the whole boiler out of slopes: it does look a bit odd being half one thing and half the other, and really the 4x4 round is a bit small in (...) (26 years ago, 4-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
