Ross,

Very good model...I've been toying with the idea of building one for a
while, but couldn't work out how to put the doors in.

Well, I just took the Lego way out (no doors)!!

(amongst other problems)

Just curious though...what's 'S-Line' ?

That was just me playing around! To do with my other current big project 8?)

Like Bob said, it's probably a bit big...

[BTW, We'll have to give it a cornering test at the next meeting, like the
Crocodile engine got :) (And Mandy suggests a "people" test...to be read:
running over a minifig chained to the tracks.]

8?) It's pretty heavy, so I don't rate the minifigs' chances very high! It's
pretty good in the corners - I have it running on my oval
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=62194 which is pretty steep
- 1 brick per 2 track sections in the corners - and it's quite happy going
down that on 5. Can even do 6 with a long train.

Heavy = good :) I wonder if we'll have our qualified engineer to try it out
on the corners of the pool table...And if this will cover as much ground as
the crocodile did :) [Mandy will volunteer for the cornering test if no-one
else will :) (assuming there's space on the pool table at Sue Ann's for the
track)]

(...) Not sure if the 'qualified engineer' will be able to make it, but he has been practising with my trains here and has not derailed any lately. For those who are wondering, the 'qualified engineer' is 6 years old, and likes to drive the trains (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.au)
