 | | New train —Ben Fleskes
|
| | | All this talk of modules and standards inspired me to actually build something. (URL) a Baltimore and Ohio Royal Blue 2-6-2 steam engine circa, late 1930s early 1940s.

I like the amount of rounded bricks, the use of seats as valves/cylinders and the cool colour of course. Regards, Ben (the ABS one) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | Ben, It looks nice. It looks like you are using rounded off "FreeStyle" 2x3 bricks [1] on the cab and on the tender. I have been looking for those. I have only found one FreeStyle set that has them in blue, and that $20 set only has two of them. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | | Ben, There are 2 standard heights for Legomodular now - 10 bricks and 22 bricks. We have gotten all the particulars worked out, I believe. I just fired off a Word Doc to everyone for comments before it is posted. I want to make sure everyone (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | (...) I think Boxpox was a brand name for cast drivers that had small round holes as their cutouts instead of the more conventional spoked wheels. I also think people started using the term for any solid (except for round holes) drivers, (...) (25 years ago, 25-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

The only class of UK engines I can think of that used them (...) (25 years ago, 25-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
