has anyone tried to build a Lego(R) version of Thomas the Tank Engine, a chrarecter in the Rev Awdry's Railway stories? Given Thomas's popularity, I am suprised that no-one hadn't already. Also I think that TLG/TLC should try and get the right to (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) containers with other group that I could take to shows our club exhibits at. The cost of a container is low and that way we could show how wide spread LTC are. Anyone interested? Matthew Greene (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

I now have a preliminary scan of GFLTC Boxcar for the upcoming Kidvention and PNLTC World Record Attempt. The 6 x 24 stud boxcar has a flat roof and mock doors. Now I just need to make better artwork for the sides and mail it to GMLTC. Check it out: (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

The GMLTC already has a couple of 8-wide boxcars using those very slopes... <grin> (John has also built some G scale stuff using the 6x8 extreme low slopes.) Our *next* layout will be designed for 8-wide trains, but since we haven't even started (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

I gave the plates a try, but I didn't like it. So, I went with the low slopes. Now I have to come up with a logo. Thanks Lar, Chris P.S. Shouldn't John be chiming in right now with the observation that extreme low slopes would fit on an eight wide (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I typically use low slopes which are technically a bit too steep of a pitch for the roof but which make me happy. Using a 2 stud wide one plate high ridge in the center of an otherwise flat roof might also work. ++Lar (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

OK, I have just decided to create the NO LTC. Read it however you want, "No LEGO Train Club" or "New Orleans LEGO Train Club". This train club will exist for only one reason; I want to submit a box car to the Kidvention/World Record attempt. I (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

John, Where is your eight wide box car? I know I've seen it, and I figured it was on your eight-wide utopia. Alas, no joy... Chris (24 years ago, 17-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)
