Yay! I still remember how to build. I just used LDD to design some small train sets... Not sure if this link will work. You may need to copy and paste the string. If not, search for user Hendotron at the Lego Factory... (URL) details: The crossing (...) (18 years ago, 24-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad.ldd, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.trains) !

(...) Did you check that catalogue more carefully about the locomotive too then...? Your locmotive has those lightning stickers with 9 volts on them, and those are nowhere to be seen in that catalogue that I got too! Greetz, Anton (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Dunno. Presumably it cost more than a 1x4x3 panel, but its a bit cheeky putting it on the box and then leaving it out! Enough misrepresentation that you could complain to customer services, I would have thought. Instructions (URL) Tim (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains)

Hi, Got the winter catalogue and some other promo stuff on LEGOworld and suddenly I noticed something strange on the pictures of the red boxcar. On all the pictures it has an extention on one side, like a ventilation thingy. And I couldn't remember (...) (18 years ago, 23-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Excellent Daniel! Nice to find a kindred spirit as I'm also an 8mm scale train builder (since 1996). (URL) I started from the other end - trains first, then scenery. I aim for the scale given by a LEGO track gauge of 37.8mm and real gauge of (...) (18 years ago, 21-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi Jonathan (...) Thanks. Those catenary masts use home-made "rigging" pieces created from button thread (the green ones) or blind cord (the black ones) and 1x1 round plates. It was rather tricky to set up, but I've always been bothered by (...) (18 years ago, 20-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi Jonathan, Tim (...) Thank you so much for your kind words. The three of us involved (Jeff Brundige, Paul Donis and myself) were indeed trying to push the envelope a bit on previous ParLUGment train displays. We hoped to create something that had (...)

Hi there (...) Tim is correct. That custom (normally used as the driver to my Hansom cab MOC) was custom-painted by me. It was a bit of a "let's see how far I can go with this" exercise. In fact, I scraped away the paint at least once - it was (...) (18 years ago, 20-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi all, I've finally decided to finally post pictures of my little home diorama that I've been making on-and-(mostly)off for the last three or so years.

(...) I can answer that! I would think it is a custom fig by Norbert Black. He is active on Lugnet, simply search in News for his name. His Brickshelf gallery can be found (URL) here> Tim (18 years ago, 20-Oct-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
