(...) I'm definitely starting to weaken on this one... good stickers add a lot. I'n not sure I'd go as far as to change the colors of elements, but for signage and detail they can't be beat. (...) I'm still holding out on these two though. It's (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.publish.photography)

Chris, Thanks for pulling this old message. To clarify my ground rules... 1. No painting. A lot of the value in a Lego element is compromised if it can't be reused as originally intended. Custom stickers and tape, however, are fair game as they can (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.publish.photography)

James, Thanks! This may take a while but I'll get some close-ups of the controls and mechanisms the next time I do a shoot. Everything is 9v with 4.5 wiring (boy did I get a deal when Dacta cleared-out 4.5v stuff) Turnouts are controlled by (...)

(...) Iain, I was looking at your pictures, and a thought occurred to me. Have you tried lowering the cars? Right now your cars sit on top of the wheelsets, and you have rounded off the bottoms of your car with inverted slopes. It might look cool if (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

I hope you enter Kathyrn in the Train competition, it will be amusing to see the disclaimer on your entry: "No 4561 pieces were used in the making of this entry"...

I have to agree with Todd, I was totally blown away when I saw those pictures! I actually had to wait till I was more awake and look at them again before I would believe what I saw. Just the layout display case alone is fantastic, but the art work (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.publish.photography)
