Larry, Thanks for the build-up . . . but one correction: I abhor painting bricks and would never attempt such a transgression. However, stickers and decals are acceptable because they extend the creative possibilites without permanently damaging the (...)

All, Larry mentioned a train in the GMLTC pictures that is not a standard Lego color. It is my beloved locomotive "Kathryn" which pulls the royal train on my layout. The dark green color and brass bands are achieved through the use of stickers only (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Great work! I love the detail in the models, I found it a nice resource to add detail to MOCs. Does the locomotive have a 12V motor and the tender a 9V? Is the 12V motor an empty shell or is it powered? I was thinking to experiment a little (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)

Brain, Wow, those are some very impressive examples of your work. I'd love to see in some more detail on how you create the stickers. It's hard to believe that the three green bricks on the front of your "Kathryn" are not painted and only covered (...)

(...) That seems hard to believe! Are you, for instance, putting stickers on all sides and faces of those 1x1 with side studs? That is a lot of VERY fine sticker work. Way better fine motor control in your fingers than I would ever hope to have. (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)

Frank, Kathryn is powered by an old 12v motor pulling power from a dummy 9v mechanism in the tender. The old 12v motors generally run quieter, smoother, slower, and just look better for steam loks than the 9v ones. The new 9v motors, however, are (...)

James, I responded to your post earlier today but it didn't show-up so here's another try. I've been making Z-scale models under a microscope for years so Lego scale is a cakewalk in comparison. Kathryn, made in 1996, was decorated entirely with (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.gmlug, lugnet.trains.org)
