Must be my week to do crazy stuff with my LEGO collection... (URL) which I took a Dremel to two of my train switches. I was inspired by a picture I saw about a week ago from another LEGO train show (can't track down the post--I'm too tired) and it's (...)

Hi Came across the following set of pictures of a large scale steam engine on Brickshelf. (URL) well done. What I want to know is how the wheels were constructed. I am in the process of trying to make a John Deere Model D tractor with steel wheels, (...) (21 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
