(...) Oh please! That thing takes 40 silver 2x4 bricks per side! If you can't get a Metroliner off of ebay, try to get 80 silver bricks. And that is also a lot of silver tubes- 40 elbows per side and 40 straights in the middle. Of course, there are (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) gorgeous coach, there, kevin! i mean _really_! i don't think i've ever seen so many silver bricks in one construction! the curved roof is especially nice, reminding me of the silver motor-homes of the 50's. my cat was very "concerned*" when i (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Alright, you've got a point... but I don't want to throw money at ebay for a metroliner. So I have about 40 silver bricks. They did grow on trees, you know, for a season. The macaroni I have from many Model Team sets found at Odd Job. I am going to (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Cool exercise, Kev! I have fantasized more than once about TLC producing 1x2 corrugated, train window, and the 1x1x1.3 half round ( (URL) ) in silver. I'm sure your MOC is much cooler in person; silver is so reflective and hard to photograph. -John (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

Cool, that is one of those projects that everyone says wouldn't it be cool if I could make a siver car, but I can't. Well, you showed us! By the way, I am not only impressed with the train, but look at the baseboard. Ther is NO cat hair there! What, (...) (25 years ago, 17-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
