I wasn't going to post this, but after John Neal complained (and accurately so) that it was too quiet in Lugnet.trains, I decided to go ahead. As some may remember from the thread concerning my ten wheeler steam engine "Lady", I was considering (...) (16 years ago, 17-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) Really nice work Anthony must have cost you a fortune in cheesebricks but the final effect is really good, I'm probably more inclined to use half cylinders and stay 6 wide but this look great,I must admit though I always admire Ben Beneke's 7 (...)

(...) I have to say that is really slick :) I think I'll have to use taht idea at some point. Thanks for sharing. (16 years ago, 18-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim)

(...) It is indeed! It's looking great. I used a very similar technique for a German BR-52 locomotive. Where you used 1-stud width of tile I used two, so my boiler came out to be 6-wide. Based on your design it looks like you might have discovered (...) (16 years ago, 19-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

I used white for the running boards, but then right above I used 1x2x1 panels instead of (...) (16 years ago, 21-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) Thanks much! To be honest it didn't cost quite the fortune some may think. It was pricey, but it only cost me about $15 for all the cheese slopes I purchased, and I didn't use them all. I've used half cylinders before on my streamlined (...) (16 years ago, 22-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) Thanks much! I think if I ever do a non-streamlined 8-wide steamer in the future, I'll have a hard time decided between this cheese slope technique and the curved half arch. I like the curved half arch look better, but last I checked they were (...) (16 years ago, 22-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

(...) Thanks much! I actually had considered your solution while I was working on designing my boiler, I used your similarly snotted boiler as inspiration. The problem I run into is that my boiler isn't all one color, so in order to use your (...) (16 years ago, 22-Apr-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)
