Hello everyone!
I hope this post goes through.
Anyway, I only have one LEGO train set: Lego 4534-1 Express Deluxe that my wife
got me for Christmas a few years back.
I have been ogling all the trains that you all have built throughout the years.
I would like to try my hand at making a steam engine, and cars, like the ones in
my set, but 8 wide.
I've been trying to find a web site that gives step-by-step instructions on how
to buld 8 wide trains but haven't found what I'm looking for. Is there a site
out there you all would recommend?
Also, out of curiosity, the engine that came with my set is listed as #4186868
but I have also found it listed as 10205-1 Large Train Engine with Tender,
Black. Is there a reason there would be two seperate numbers for the exact same
thing?
Thanks for the help!
Larry

| (...) Hello, Larry! Ahhh, one of my favorite topics: 8 wide! (URL) First, there is nothing really special about building 8 wide; it really is simply a difference of width by 2 studs. The reason one would consider building 8 wide instead of 6 wide is (...) (15 years ago, 16-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
