  Re: James Mathis really has caught the 8-wide bug!
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: James Mathis really has caught the 8-wide bug!
 
(...) 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)

  RE: James Mathis really has caught the 8-wide bug!
 
(...) Well, we've come to expect that from every single one of James' creations, haven't we? And often, he *does* discover some new method for attaching stuff. --Bram Bram Lambrecht BXL34@po.cwru.edu (URL) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)

Consider the cab windows. These are boat bridge windows, upside down. So (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Sliding doors
 
Hi ! Yesterday evening I just had some minutes spare time, but nevertheless I succeed in building some lego :-) First I copied your sliding-doors, James - then I modified them a little bit, so that now doors on both sides of a train could easily be (...)

Hello Adrian, I have used another method, it does however require the special 1.5x8 rail plates for support. Please see (URL) for the details. Not as elegant as the other idea, but it works fairly well. Michel Magnan (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
