As always, awesome engine Shaun! The Boiler design especially, is nice with all the different angles, surfaces, curves, SNOT, etc. I think it needs steps on the pilot though, doesn't it? Especially since it's a yard switcher. Just put those 1x2 (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes, there is. You can clip a 1x4 or 1x6 brick into those tabs and it will stay securely in place. Some official LEGO designs (4563? I think so, but am too lazy to go check right now) use this feature so that's presumably why they are there. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)
