(...) I have found that if you avoid 180° curves then the long cars don't look that bad because they are not in the curve too long. Just typing to see myself type, Chris (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well, I agree, you are caught between a rock and a hard place. Too short and they look silly standing still, too long, and they look silly on curves. However I feel 32 studs is a good compromise. Many of my cars are that length or longer and I (...) (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The problem is of the lego curves. If I make them much longer, then they look stupid going around the curves. At present they are 24/26 studs long over the vestibule. If I extend them by 8 studs (which is relatively easy to do) then they (...) (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(URL) what I have got done so far. 3 Coaches, one Beavertail, one steam heat van, one ~FP7A. Nose on the FP is hard to do. To do it right, we need some transition curves, from one plane into another. I think the beavertail is likely wrong, it should (...) (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Nice pictures. However, it is hard to get a good idea of what the cars really look like since there isn't a complete shot. Thanks for posting the pictures, Chris (24 years ago, 24-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
