(...) I had a similar thought. I have a baggy of LEGO pellet, but it's in red. But one of our club members works at plastic injection house, adn got me a bag of black pellet. The pellet is rough cubes, ~1/8" across. My thought was to glue these to (...) (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Unfortunatly, you cant attach drive rods to 9v train wheels. Once I can afford some BBB wheels, I want to do an even more accurate American 4-4-0 (mabie in 8-wide) but for now my parts selection prevents me from doing drive rods :) (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes I agree- it's very detailed for it's size. If I had that many grilles, I'd run and make one too. The doors seem to open too. All in all, a very detailed MOC. BTW, you can hit the up button and see his other stuff. Worth a look. Pretty cool (...) (20 years ago, 20-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)

SNIPPY Hi Chip, I too was looking at these at brickshelf and was truly impressed. Its always good when a new and different Train MOC comes along. The BL2 has to be my favourite. When I saw the thumb, I was like 'there's no way thats been done in (...) (20 years ago, 19-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains)
