(...) I have to agree. Not enough screen realestate to see all the angles, and no way to tell (for certain cases) that you've just embedded a brick inside of another one. I am happy to say that all my models have survived the great crash of Nov (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I just flipped the tailgate around at the finger-hinge junction. The 1x4 "finger" plate to which the tailgate is attached is still studs-up. However, the 1x4 "finger" plates are offset 1/2 stud to produce a slight slope to the front "grill" (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
