(...) Thanks for your interest Lester, I have posted the link to the ldraw file below. There is one piece that is not shown on the valve block where the pushrod enters. It is a technic piece, 1x2 liftarm, like part#32523 but with two holes. It acts (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains)

At the Hull (UK) Model Railway Show last weekend, my 8mm:1ft scale British Class 28 CoBo engine (known to fans of Thomas as "BoCo") won the A1 Models Trophy for the best "modern outline" exhibit. (In this case "modern outline" means post-1950 diesel (...) (20 years ago, 15-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

Lotsa snippy (...) Hi Tim,Funny, I thought you may have figured out that I was doing the same locomotives that are in the Microsoft Train Simulator ;-P (...) Wow, thanks! I've seen your MOCs too, and that tram reminds me of Toby from Thomas the tank (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Samarth, I'm glad you've had a warm welcome already. I have looked at your brickshelf pics many times as you have added stuff, at first I thought you were English (because of the class 50 and Flying Scotsman.) but then realised that you (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Ross, THANKS! It's actually quite flexible you know, it's not neccessary that it should hang out too much. I've got this idea in my head, but I haven't yet tried it out in real life: Use a jumper plate and fix it into the stud holes between (...) (20 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I'm proud of it too :-) (...) 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)

(...) Hi Samarth, I especially like your co-co undercarriage arrangement, with the actual motor hidden in the centre. 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)

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)
