<verbose on> Thanks for the comments guys. I really like the feedback (and its fun to show off a bit). Sometimes you're just too close to your own designs to make valid crtiques. Boxcar Doors They do not slide. I used technic beams with the stud-end (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

Hey Steve, I really like your work. One question regarding (URL) similar. How did you do the sliding doors? Eric Kingsley did something similar on his box cars and sent a short explanation. He did his with single stud 1x2 plates as the 'rails' on (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
