Mike, et al-

I have begun construction of a 14 wide box car [1] and am suddenly very
interested in the scale of the LL trains.  Does anyone know how many studs wide
those babies are?  I am looking for some good pics on line, but can't seem to
find any.  Didn't someone post some nice detailed train photos from Billund?

[1] This is a fun project:-)  I am using G scale wheels and have constructed
the trucks out of LEGO.  Will need a little help from MIK, however, for
rigidity....

On a side note, has anybody ever tried to build a Legoland scale train.  I
believe that they are 16 studs, but I may be mistaken.  I would love to go
there and bring a home made train body that looks better than their stuff.
Perhaps a large steam loco would do the job.  The moving parts would really
be cool looking.

(...) Try my web site: (URL) pictures legoland0089.jpg through legoland0107.jpg. These might be of help. Sorry for the quality, but it was raining on the opening day. :) Russell (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

John2, You may not need to get a couple of million bricks for your 8 wide layout. You can just use mine. It will be built to allow 8 wide trains to run. I fixed the problems with the turns being too sharp and am going to next fix the track point (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
