Thanks John. Coming from the champion of 8 wide, this means a lot to me. Yeah, I used lots of three long plates in this model! I needed an odd number of studs to get the nose right - the rounded headlight thing. This is the main reason I went to 7 (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

Very nice, Kim. The Soo is (was) a midwestern line, and so that and the Milwaukee Road are my favorite lines to model. I see you decided to model in purgatory scale (7 wide;) Actually, I've found that modeling in odd numbered studs is rather (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

Kim, I don't build trains, but that is a very nice looking model. Looks like you got a nice resemblance to the train you were basing it one. What really impresses me about this model is the ingenious way that you mounted those round windows. :-) (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

I remember some years ago Lego produced another train set (at the time when they had the blue manual rails) where it was able to electrically control the switches and there was a decoupling unit as well. Does somebody know wy they stopped the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

Not only did we have our 18'x20' layout, but we also doubled the play area for the kids. The idea at this (...) (24 years ago, 14-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org, lugnet.general)
