Hey Shaun- Good idea, and nice MOC! It is a rare engine indeed that can both look the most detailed it can AND be highly functional as well. I am going to ask Ross to take on your challenge of modifying your design and see what he comes up with-- I (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm glad to have been of service :-) Yes, you rendered it about right according to the instructions I gave. One of these days I'll get around to posting some of my TD doodles on Brickshelf. Maybe even today. --Bill. (22 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

Hi All, In a massive departure from my usual modus operandi, I finished up my latest project last night; a 4-4-4 steam engine. The uncharted territory (for me at least) comes from the fact that (a) the steam engine is *6-wide*, and (b) it is not (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.trains) !

Now THIS is a very good switching yard (the 'to download' one). Great 'extra' advantage: there are pairs of L en R switches, the way we often have to buy these things! I'm definitely going to build it these days. Keep designing guys! I love this (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Have a boo at my take on Bill's switching yard: (URL) did a TD from his instructions, as others here have, and then I modified it a bit so that the switches for the points are not overlapping the ties of adjacent tracks. Both layouts are shown (...) (22 years ago, 15-Nov-02, to lugnet.trains)
