 | | The Queensland Tilt Train - and it tilts!
|

Anyway, I came across this wonderful train with a name that says it all, the Tilt (...)

| on a very nice model (URL) hope I'm not stealing anyone's thunder but I saw this train in the new folders on Brickshelf and had to post. As well as simple but clever tilt technique it looks really good, with a complicated front well rendered in the (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains) !

| THANKS EVERYONE! Not only for the compliments but for the courteous exchange! I have to admit that it feels good too! :) It was just one of those MOCs that just came together. I guess I have been so obsessed with building in rare colors that I (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains)

| This is a really awesome idea! Someone else said it, and I agree, it would be awesome to see this in MR. I'll bet they never expected their design to inspire someone to this end.

| (...) Yes, we certainly are. But the pre-school kids don't find drag-racing *cool*. Maybe for the bigger kids and adults... The younger kids much prefer train layouts they can go round and round many laps like the Grand Prix. And ones in which they (...) (20 years ago, 22-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
