(...) Thanks! I love Flickr, it's really helped the building process when it comes to things like these. There aren't too many shopes that carry the 4x4 dome piece I used around, but they are there. (URL) Thanks for the reply! --Tony (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)

Nicely done Tony. I snuck in a few peeks on the Flickr page last week, and saw that it was really coming together. Turned out great. The cow-catcher came out very well using that method. I'm still dabbling with my Hudson streamline concepts... I (...) (17 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX)

Here's my latest steam engine I've been working on. It's lacking stickers, but someday I'll find a printer that can print decent stickers from home. Till then I'll have to wait till I can find the time to borrow the use of my father's printer. (2 (...) (17 years ago, 16-May-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, FTX) !!

Would it be possible to use tiles instead? Or are you just trying to show off (...) (17 years ago, 12-May-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
