| (...) Wow- did you model all those curves with basic bricks only? You did such a great job that it's hard to judge scale. It looks sooo smooth, I can't quite tell if this is the real thing or if it is only, say... 2 1/2 inches wide. -- Tony Hafner (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)

| 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)

| (...) Your last sentence there states the problem exactly- the chain links simply aren't the right length for even stud spacing in many cases. 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)

I find that with a moving model such as a locomotive, the overall proportion and look tends to be more (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk)

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)
