 | | Re: train width
|
| (...) John is absolutely correct here. You have 2 choices upon which to gauge your scale-- the height of the minifig or the track gauge (the distance between the rails). As John mentioned, a typical US train is about 10 feet wide, and standard track (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | Re: train width
|
| (...) Well, considering trains in the U.S. are about twice the width of the rails, and overhang the ends of the ties, I'd say the actual width should be 10 wide, with automobiles being 7 wide -- wide enough for two minifigs to sit side-by-side. But (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) SNIP 7 wide! Now that's what I've been saying since I first heard of the how wide debate. It's about time a real train builder came around to the truth: Trains are 7 wide and cars are 5 wide! Aaron (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Although that would certainly work, there are no right answers that I was looking for. And there are no tests. I just enjoy people who can explain a building technique with just words. I was in a science competition as a teen where one person (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.space)

| | | | | Re: Flush access door
|
| (...) Such a simple little innovation, but a great one. The uses for space stuff and their affinity for studlessness makes it a welcome addition. Nice work. Cheers, -Gil (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.space)

| (...) The stripe is red. It's just faded photographs that make it look orange. The hardest match is the colour around the windows, as it's a very dark grey cyanic colour. I suppose if you live in England it counts as "sea blue". I think dark grey, (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | Re: Flush access door
|
| (...) Oh please, you use a 1x5 technic 'rotor' plate and push the studs of an upturned 1x2 plate down into the ends and build on that. It's five long, so you get half a stud offset flush with your six-wide wall. Hide the rounded ends by resting them (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jan-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.town, lugnet.space)
