| | | (...) Hey look, something worth reading/looking at was posted on LUGNET today! The amount of SNOT you put into your models is incredible, James. I was wondering how structurally sound your designs are, however. Do some parts tend to fall off if (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | (...) In this Sante Fe loco, the windows are really loosely installed . I've forced a "V" wedge onto the windows, and it's quite fragile about the the side windows, as well. The side windows could be reinforced quite easily if I took more time to do (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

I don't necessarily design for highest durability, that takes a (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

On my models, the mirrors also fall off, as do other parts, but (...) (23 years ago, 26-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
