|

Something that I just noticed is that the 4512 locomotive truly looks like it resembles set 4564's engine. Is this the same engine only different colors and a different removable top? And, 4511 has some strange lights on the front of the engine. The (...) (22 years ago, 30-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks Stefan, I tinkered around with making the wheels larger but then they interfered with the dumping bays. Adding a spring to the wheels also made them look much larger and out of proportion with the rest of the car especially when I pushed the (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains)

Greatings, I recently completed a MOC of 100-Ton Hopper car. I modeled it after a "Proto 1000 Series" HO scale kit I borrowed from my brother. I wasn't able to get the ribbing to line up in the middle of the car and I think the wheels could benefit (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.trains) !
