  Nice Work, Jake!
 
Jake, you have achieved the status in my mind of "master minifig scale train builder"! I really like the way you put a train together:-) This loco: (URL) is certainly in league with the Super Chief or even *beyond* it! Hey Brad! You've got your next (...)

  Re: Nice Work, Jake!
 
(...) Aw shucks... thanks John. And thanks to the LEGO Train community for the inspiration, support and encouragement for this design. It has been underway for many versions and many months, with at least one or more versions to come. (I still have (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)
