| Finally, after scrounging Brinklink and similar sites for the right parts, I've finally worked up the courage (or foolhardiness, you decide later) to reveal my masterpiece to the world. This is a likeness of a General Motors EMD F-unit. In any (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)

Think about it... the links fit over gear teeth, and why would the circumference of integral-stud-diameter (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.pt)

For some reason, this seems to add a great deal of tension to the axles. In fact, I noticed (prior to putting a (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.pt)

| Good to see models of some British prototypes - I've always wanted to build a few British diesels and electrics. I always encounter the same problem though - the windows just don't look right, having said that the 37 looks fairly convincing! I too (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk)
