It's my rendition of a Northern Rail (the newest (...) (19 years ago, 23-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX)

Very nice model! I first thought it wasn't LEGO but popping up the pictures I saw the studs. This model proves you can use any part for any MOC. The Minifig large windows are a nice solution and the benches looks very well also. Do you have a (...) (19 years ago, 22-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Here's a reliable scheme for controlling unmodified switch points with pneumatics. This scheme is for use on track that is raised up off the baseplate in modules. I have reduced the depth required below the track to a minimum of 9 plates in the (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.build, lugnet.announce.moc) !
