(...) Yes. I have. In fact, I have a reverse loop to reverse loop layout. Its not hard at all. All you have to do is cut the rails (both of them) in 2 pieces of track for each reversing loop. Then, you have a choice: LEGO or Radio Shack... You need (...) (26 years ago, 26-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Nice work, Chris. I like the staggered grey stripes and the radiator bubble in back. When I heard this was 8 wide, I was concerned that it wouldn't look "to scale" with other stuff but it looks good. I'm gonna have to start doing some of these half (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

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)

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)
