(...) Kevin, Don't know if you had noticed, but there are 2 of part 6081 (2x4x1&1/3 brick with curved top) in gray in set 6617, Tough Truck Rally. A quick (though expensive) way to get it done. Regards, Andy Evans (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

Excellent model, Kevin! Nice work. I've got to check my parts now to see how close I'll come to the 40 stud drop plate you designed... I seem to recall that when I saw this P42DC Amtrak engine in person last year, the single exhaust fan that you (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

Nah, I do not really think the NOLTC counts as a "real" club. I was just trying to cheat and get in on the fun. If I planned on trying to do a local model railroading event then I would say that I was a "real" club with only one member, but since I (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

In lugnet.trains, John Neal writes: Too bad they don't have a 1x3 or 1x1 corregated brick so you could stager the bricks on the sides. I would think the middle of those cars are quite fragle. Do you put any kind of supports behind the sides? jt (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)
