(...) I killed the whole morning (I could never do this with a regular paying job) making it, but I've got a switching yard that I like. The overall "industrial end" is 8'x18', with the yard 3' across. (Any wider and we wouldn't be able to reach it (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes, and the built-in mystical theme, including props and designs might make it more attractive. It's no big deal to squirt dark grey plastic into a Belville mold rather than pink or purple. (...) Yes, but now that I think of it, the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.belville, lugnet.castle, lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Interesting thought on this: many, perhaps most or even all, photo processing services use digital processing these days. The negatives are stilled developed the old-fashioned way (no way to avoid that), but then they are fed into a unit that (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hmm. I don't think we can pull off a 15 footer, quite. Quick question: How *wide* are our tables? I've been thinking that they're 30", standard banquet table width, but I seem to recall you saying "2 feet" somewhere... (...) One way of getting (...)

(...) For the record: I am very confident of the future of trains and I do not think this contest has grand significance. But I do not think ANY company runs "just a fun contest." If trains were doomed, we'd hear nothing about it. They'd just (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

Hi Frank, (...) Thanks, the cardoors give the chimney a more aerodynamical style. I thought about cutting the white round 2x2x1 and use just one half in front, followed by the cardoors... BUT: I won't cut LEGO bricks!! The rods-maniac is simple! (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

I'm posting this also in the main trains group in case someone has indeed cut the edge off some switches or found a way to make a switching yard close together like this. I'm going to try an interleaved yard to get the tracks the way I want - I'll (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.nalug, lugnet.trains)

Here's a link to a post in the German Lego Forum from Michael Schian under the title "We're eating roast cat this weekend!": (URL) you'd like to see a couple of the (former) engines in the pile, go to (URL) and look for the BR23 and the Mallet.
