Hi Kurt,
Great work on making a small working Shay. Very impressive engineering
achievment. The models themselves pack in a lot of details too making them look
as good as they work.
One suggestion to invite people to look/comment on your model is to take better
photos. Your current photos make it very difficult to actually see the train and
thus difficult/unappealling to comment on. There’s various threads out there
discussing it and a search on ‘photographing lego’ should yield a wealth of
information.
Tim
PS. I’m writing this on Lugnet to be retro. There’s still a lot of discussion on
LEGO trains but Flickr has a lot of experienced train builders (and
inexperienced) and Eurobricks has a lot of people in their trains forum.
