A long time ago I made a 4 wide big rig and thought that
it might be fun to take standard HO track and build LEGO
cases for a standard loco chassis.
The I got to thinking about how to attach HO trucks to LEGO
and dropped the idea because it was getting too complicated.
John Barnes once hollowed out some bricks and stuck N scale
parts inside to make a micro-scale train - but that's because
he wanted to find out if his new micro milling machine cold
do it. :-)

| (...) And if you're thinking of making a loop, HO, OO and N have some pretty wide curves as standard. You really have to go down to Z-gauge to find curves that are smaller than LEGO, and that would take some very specialised building techniques! (...) (17 years ago, 21-Jul-07, to lugnet.trains)

| I would like to have a train layout, with permanent structures, supplemental vehicles, and so forth, but I really do not have the room for it. Has anyone come up with a creative way to build, run, and store a lego train layout in a small space? For (...) (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.trains)
