| | | Hi Everyone, I'm Samarth Moray, and I'm 16. I've been playing with Lego, like most of you, since I was a kid. I'm new to lugnet because this is my first post, but I'm 'old' to lugnet because I've been lurking around for a year now. That basically (...)

I fell in love with the 8 wides when it clicked in my head: I had two failed 6-wide designs for the WDP-4, and the only way to get the front windows to look right, was NOT to use this piece of you (...)

Though the track gauge is about right for 1 stud = 1 foot, that would actually make for a 10 wide scale, since most modern locos are (...) (20 years ago, 15-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

No. Actually I just like to see how the 'face' of my new model will look like first, so usually it's the cab that defines my locos shape. this is the only part I do in LDraw. I also test new designs here (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Although it would mean the loco hangs out more in the corners, it is much easier to make a reasonable length co-co loco ;) ROSCO (20 years ago, 15-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains)
