(URL) got the idea for these from an HO Walthers cataloge. The first design was a completly black car with a white strip along it with a white door. Then I changed the design to be a colored car with a black window line. It might be a bit hard to (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Well obviously it's because I deleted the part that was relevant to trains before posting it. If you had bothered to read the part I didn't post, it would all be clear to you.

I'd like to say that this is one of the best layouts ever; from the sub-structure on up! I don't know where to start and I'm speechless, so... WOW. SteveB (left wanting) PNLTC (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm wondering why this leaked over into .trains... I would say that if there are only 2 bins, "official LEGO(r) parts", and "everything else" these parts belong in the "everything else" bin. But the better solution is a different bin (library) (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad)

Hi Jeff, Critique to follow, don't mean to be too negitive :) I just looked at your car and wondered why 7 wide? I don't see how the 7th stud did anything for you on this design, the foot print is still 4 wide between the 1x2 tiles with-rod-on-top. (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I wonder--since these parts still have the official LEGO logo on the studs, would they even have a place in a clones DB? You've mentioned previously a possible library of dats based on user-modified elements; perhaps Tony's bricks would fit in (...)

Dear Lego Enthusiasts! Today the biggest (and greatest!) Lego Fest ever will find its end. I myself had the chance to attend Legoword 2002 in Zwolle/Netherlands for 3 of the 5 days. So here comes my brief report about it: "LEGOWORLD 2002 HAS BEEN (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.be, lugnet.loc.nl, lugnet.loc.it) !!
