Chris, Yes, it is still available, I got the new Adventurer cover (Spring? I have to go look at it now! OK, Spring 1999 titled Jungle Adventure - Pretty neat picture!) page 9, bottom. $66.00US. I thought about this train a lot, and I think it is a (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

There has been alot of talk about the classic train again lately, so I grabbed my shop at home catalogu to give it a look. First, I still do not like it based the same reasons everyone else doesn't like it, but economically... 3 pairs of wheel sets (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

To all, I finished the track design last night, (I will post some pictures on my webpage soon), and decided against doing both lines at the same time connected. I am willing to explore the possibility in the future, however. Now, for the monorail (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

Cut is such an ugly word...a small piece of electrical tape will open (disconnect) the circuit. However, if the wheels are on opposite sides of the cut/tape then a short occurs again. I think you need two cuts/tapes to keep the circuit open. Chris (...) (26 years ago, 27-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

The nose is a cop out, and it is something that will have to be revisited. I couldn't think of a good way to put a railing accross the front; so, I gave up. I guess I really should go get The Great Book of Trains Brian Hollingsworth & Arthur Cook (...) (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)

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)
