Hi,

As you know, some builders among you enjoy placing some interior details in

the motor may be too big for the bigest panels. If not I'll have to use SNOTted
plates/tiles.

The 1x2x3 panel works better as the 1x4x3 panel has two small strengthening ribs (...) (19 years ago, 30-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
