To stripe doors, or other bricks for that matter, I use electrical tape in various colors. Most electrical supply stores have it available in about 10 different colors, most of which match Lego pretty well. I like it because it goes on easy, it's (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.trains)

Hello to the people who are using non-LEGO stickers, Robin ((URL) Steve ((URL) go to (URL) to see some of his train creations) sorry to those I have left out. Are you custom making your stickers or are you buying them from hobby shops. I have been (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.trains)

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)

John, (...) Either you are very ambitious, have a ton of bricks somewhere, or completely crazy, but good luck either way! My new year's resolution was not to buy any Town Junior, except the boats for the hulls. As for Scala, my mini-figs have enough (...)

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)

(...) 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)
