James, Please, you must become a designer at The LEGO Group! Excellent work on your slag car. As Chris pointed out, your attention to detail is amazing. You know, if TLG had any sense they'd hire people like James in a second. Once again, great job! (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Yes, the back of the engine is eight studs wide. I ran 2x8 and 2x? plates along the sides so I could attach the rail. There may be a way to attach the rail without going 8 wide, but I haven't had any clearance problems (train station 2150 and the (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Going WIDE. Is the diesel electric wider than 7 studs across for the length of the technic axel railing? Nice job. Off-topic, I like the way the fence piece is used at an angle on the under side of the trolley. Neat effect. later, James Mathis (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
