When you run out of pieces...well, just don't have the ones you'd like to build a certain model, you turn to LEGO CAD. MLCAD is just great! This is a first go at the Italian ETR500 passenger set. Loads of green. Ugh. This model is 8-wide. Tapered (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) well done for your first attempts in 8-wide! Welcome to the fantastic world of 8-wide LEGO®-trains. Ohhh, I love these rounded pieces you use at your car! What about a bit more lenght for a car with 4 sets of trainwheels? Give it 10 more (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
