(...) I'm sorry, but I have found just another bug as it seems: I was trying to to fix the singular matrix error in the minifig torso subpart and had figured it had to do with som missing number in the rotation matrix. I changed the numbers until (...) (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.trains)

I've posted some pictures of my current models on my website. There's a (I think) fairly innovative railway layout with track plans, and some scenary including tunnels. An old decaying rural UK station. And a Virgin Trains intercity express train - (...) (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

I made a tour through the Lüneburg Heath (densely populated area in northern germany) on last friday. I visited at least 20 shops in mainly smaller villages and found some nice old sets there. Best finds have been two remote controlled 12V points (...) (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

These look good. The non-alignment of the black stripes is a bit jarring though. I've been surprised at the value of the 6557 cab you've used, these must be one of the more expensive 9v train parts.

(...) In the US & Canada it varies. Depending on the size of the station and the type of train, either high or low platforms are used. A high platform comes to the height of the car door. A low platform is not much (if any) higher than the railhead (...) (24 years ago, 7-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks for the pointer, that is a cool idea book. But I am left wondering, are those bridges really strong enough? The brigde on page 86 is pretty short, but the one on page 79 is fairly long (3 tracks). Just wondering out loud. Thanks, Chris P.S. I (...) (24 years ago, 6-May-00, to lugnet.trains)
