(...) I'm still not sure - Could you please clarify what " K-8 " is/means? I seems from what I'm reading that it is not the name of a set or style or "line" of LEGO, but rather a nickname for a container that holds excess LEGO that can't be put in (...)

(...) Thanks. It was really fun to see yours and see how you went about the different design problems in modeling James. Many of our solutions were the same! I especially enjoyed seeing you use the 1x4 red arch for the curve of the window, because (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) Your version of "James" looks great. I like that you can put "piping" along the side of the engine. The 12 volt motor with rod really makes a difference. (...) I'm going to try the decals, as well. I could really use some advice with how best (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

Very nice, James! It was fun to see your rendering of James because my son and I have built one as well, and it is interesting to see the similarities and differences in our two interpretations. We brought ours to the Kidvention in July, but I don't (...) (24 years ago, 17-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
