(...) Yes. You've used two 2x3 slopes on the right-hand side, then a 2x4 on the other side at the back and made up two studs of slope with the little 1x1x2/3 slopes. Then you've only photographed it from the right, and the one shot that shows what (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | BNSF MOC
|
|
This was a fairly obvious MOC to make... it is just a recolor of (URL) MTW-2001>, done in BNSF colors now that the dark green and orange are available thanks to the new set. One beef I have with that set is that the cab at 4 studs is way too short, (...) (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | Train Set Design (Help?)
|

I realize that Track Designer has an elevation feature, but are there other sources of information on creating terrian for an L-Gauge train set? I have roughly an 11' x 11' room in which a shelf system is going. The layout is two modified dog bone (...) (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains)

The Dover show was a success with our layout drawing a crowd all day. We also setup a play area which drew children all day long. Many children made creations and added them to the layout.

Hi all, to draw a model, which I own for over 5 years, I have now done CAD files for the 60ies hook coupling and the 60ies 4.5 train waggon wheel with riffles. Now at last I was able to render the "Esso promotional set 121". The result can be seen (...) (20 years ago, 21-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.trains)

| | Internals of a monorail point
|

I recently bought a very cheap monorail point from Bricklink as it was broken, so I had nothing to lose by opening it up. Looking at the bottom ((URL) it would appear that all it takes is to release the 5 clips and the base will come off. Not true, (...) (20 years ago, 20-Nov-04, to lugnet.trains)
