Hey GMLTC'ers I'm looking for a place to stay during Kidvention, so if any of you are up to splitting a hotel room, please LMK. Terry Keller is also looking for somewhere to stay, and we haven't found any lodging at peoples' houses in LUGOLA. Please (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

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)

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)
