 | | Club Trolley Revisited
|
| I've twiddled with the trolley design a bit further-- mostly color combos as dictated by train window colors available at BrickLink. Interestingly enough, purple 2-wide and 4-wide train windows seem most plentiful from the Harry Potter Night Bus (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Right, I can see it now. It's the tile on top that's offset a little because the stud it's on (the transparent brick) isn't in a natural position. Of course, it would probably have been simpler to use two clear 1x2 plates with a tile on top, (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(I've been not precise enough) There are two tiles and if the one in the side (SNOT mounted) of the engine has no offset, the one "stud up" has a 0.4 stud offset relatively to the (...)
