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)

I know your slag car isn't new but I never commented on until now-- James, that is damn good model building! And creative, too. I like the way you are concerned with detail and copying the prototype as faithfully as possible, whether it be loco or (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

On this topic, has anyone ever tried cutting a bit out of the metal in one of the rails (just on one side) to stop a reversing loop from causing a short? I've been wondering about doing that, and wondering how difficult it is. Simon (URL)Track (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)
