I've been co-opted. I am now building a FP9 (or something that looks slightly like one...) for NALTC. That, and some more Blue/Yellow Stripe coaches. The FP is coming along, except for the almost total lack of 1x4 blue arches. One set had them, and (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nice work, Greg! I like a lot of the details-- lights, wreaths, etc. Though it seems, however, that you have already picked up the most valuable building tip you could get -- to build your train 8 wide!! {:^D As an aside, trains which run (...)

Season's Greetings Fellow LEGO-Fans! I saw Adrian's post the other day about the Christmas Train that he had built and it inspired me to get mine finished.

Model trains, in general, seem to be in decline, at least in the US. Of course, there is a group of hard-core enthusiasts that really love them, but the general populous seems more interested in other toys. My father always comments that model (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

I believe from my memory that I can build four 30"x45" modules with about 200 of the blue tubs. It would build 3 normal modules and one 2x4/2x6 hybrid module. The hybrid would use 2x4 for the walls and 2x2 for the towers, but use 2x6 for the lattice (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Actually we had the green farm module before they were really selling green bricks in quantity. Before they were selling the green 2x4s in sets, about 100-150 of them followed me home from the model shop. (They let me keep all of my creations that (...)
