    Re: Retraction about offset stud on box cars and stuff —Jason J. Railton
   (...) Ah, I get it now. Very subtle. By the way, I can now do 1/10 stud offsets! It's a bit small to look any good, but it's possible. You use a 2x1 plate with centre stud. That sets you 1/2 a stud, or 5/10, back from the normal row of studs. Then (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

        Re: Retraction about offset stud on box cars and stuff —Tony Hafner
   Yargh!! You beat me to it! After the 1/5 stud offset thread, I prototyped some 1/10 stud ideas in MLCAD half the day on Tuesday and then with bricks that night. But I was offline yesterday and just came in today. I still don't have a finished (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
