|
|
I am a big LEGO fan, but I've never been interested in the trains (mainly because of the hefty price tag). Recently though, I've thought about putting a LEGO train around the base of my Christmas tree. I wanted something classic-looking, not very (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Back in the 1980's, LEGO introduced a yellow wind up motor; look up set #895 in Pause to see a picture of it. The thought of integrating the new Technic 5223(LEGO's shop at home site has a picture) into a locomotive or possibly a container crane are (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Chris, Wow, looks great. I really like the caboose. I hate cutting tubing, but the curved railings look so good that I might have to cut some tubing for my caboose. Did you use stiff (pod racer) tubing or flexible tubing? Also, I like the steps. Is (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
