| | | I almost forgot-- here are a few shots of my engine shed. Please excuse the frequency of my posts-- that's what happens when you finally get a new digital camera;-) (URL) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains) !

| | | | | This is a very nice building. Woah! Lot's of windows. Wheh! What I really like are the track doors: The black arch piece attached to the top of the door looks good. I'd like to see a close-up of how the door is constructed and the black arch piece (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | | I think that the doors are just 1x bricks attached with the 1x2,1x2 hinge pieces. No tricky attachment there, just a lot of black bricks. Mike James Mathis <thakius@nmt.edu> wrote in message news:FstD4y.LJ5@lugnet.com... (...) the (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

I hope to locate some of those arches in red soon. (URL) (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | | | (...) Right. If it is wrong, I'm wrong too, as I have a much lower shed like appurtenance on the side of the car shop I did in blue/grey on the GMLTC yard module. I tend to agree, offices may well be single story while the main car or engine house (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | Thanks for the close-up pictures. I thought (incorrectly) that you had used some black "doors" from the castle or ninja sets or something and had mounted the black arches to those doors. The doors you "built" look very nice. I really like the shed. (...) (24 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | Hi John! Indeed, very nice pictures! I wish the 45° sloped roof bricks would be available as supplementary box in germany too. We have no Lego® roof bricks left to buy here. During the last years we could get at least 22° bricks in red...... (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | Actually, I was trying to pull Ben's leg and have him think the shed was a set (since he collectively pulled ours;). Hopefully, it dazed him briefly;-) Mike is about right-- I bought 44 classic train sets to get the black 4x3 and 3x3 slopes for the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)
