|
| | | Okay, I have a question for the 8-wide builders here. I'm pretty sure you must be having a sizeable number of 6 x 24 and 6 x 28 train bases leftover from offical sets because you don't use them. So what do you do with all of them? Legoswami Samarth (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | (...) I believe some builders use them embedded... but they are kinda short for most 8 wide cars....

I also have another brake van and six 32ft tube wagons (pics to follow soon). I convert the tanker (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
