(...) Big...and reliable! I go primarily by track gauge, which at 37.66mm is as near to 8mm:1ft or 1 stud:1ft as 16.5mm track is to the HO scale of 3.5mm:1ft. The British loading gauge is smaller than the US one. The maximum width (of the W6 gauge (...) (20 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

|
|
Purists please skip this post as it involves non-LEGO sensors. Lacking an RCX, but loving the motorized cows ( (URL) ), I needed to find a way to control them with the code pilot (from set 8479 Barcode Multi-Set) I have. The only LEGO sensor that (...)

(...) Very nice Mark! I remember having a HO model of that loco when I was a kid (probably Hornby), you've captured the colouring and details really well. And the logo is great - instantly recognisable! ROSCO (20 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Just checked with Precious Princess Palace and the track in the my own freight train bundle is old gray. At least there is a lot of that out there. (20 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) <snip> Very nice, Mark. Big! :-d~~ I have a question about the scale. It appears to be 8 wide, which would imply to me to be more like 6.4mm:1ft. Are you going solely by track gauge for scaling, or width of the loco? I would guess that that (...) (20 years ago, 2-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here's a new British loco in 8mm:1ft scale. It is 50033 "Glorious" in memory of the real engine of that name being shut up in Swindon (UK) STEAM museum, fully serviceable but unable to run - what a shame! Still, you can go and see it without finding (...) (20 years ago, 1-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.loc.uk, FTX) !
