(...) Try printing it as a "negative" and applying it to white bricks. In other words - if your want white letters on a black background print the black background and let the white brick show through the clear letters.

(...) For me the basic point comes down to size. My layout is 9 X 20 and to increase it by 1/3 would mean I could never set all the modules up. Also as Larry point out increased cost would slow down developement. 8 wides are great for models, 10 or (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Wow. Very beautiful. Hope to see some close-up pics soon. I'm very interested in how you attached the 4.5 curve track to the rest of the structure. Do they pop off if the bridge gets bumped, or did you come up with a clever solution? Are those (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'd respond "Are you out of your mind?". If you think TLC 6 wide trains are too expensive, just think how bad 8 wide ones would be. 1/3 more in each direction == approximately double == 2x the cost. I don't think you have to worry that this is (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 6 wide. Why? because Lego is NOT to scale, and the amount of space I cover with traintrack is excessive as it is :). New curves, yes. 8 wide? No thanks. If I want scale models, I go downstairs and work on the P4 stuff. If I want large scale (...) (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
