(...) Thanks. There must be a cold goin' round... More SNOT from many LEGO Trainiacs. Most notably Ben F.'s streamlined steam loco. For my green DB139, I wish I could gently slope the front.... If you look closely, you might be able to see that the (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains) !

I'm pleased to say that I completed my tables over the weekend. Birch faced plywood was the way to go. The surface is nice and smooth and required minimal sanding. The tables also offer the storage advantage when used at home. I can store lots (but (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Those are slick pictures. It's been too long since I've seen any all blue lego moc's. It would have taken me far more than four hours to come up with anything that nice. Once more, I think the best looking stuff features one color with just a touch (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

I only have 7 motors, so I raced them. I started two motors next to each other, one in front of the other, and race in the forward direction and then in the opposite direction. My oldest motor is MUCH slower than my fastest. So, since I have gone (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
