 | | First true Train MOC (NELUG Boxcar). —Eric Kingsley
|
| | | Hey all, You may have noticed that I did some containers recently for the PNLTC world record event. Well part of that discussion tailed off into the possibility of doing boxcars. I don't know if the boxcar idea will come to fruition or not but it (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

| | | | | Eric- Nice work for a rookie;-) That is my favorite box car to model-- the ol' 40 footer. A couple of nits: 1. Loose the buffers. We are in America-- land of the free, and home of the bufferless;-) Use the 2x3 black plate with one side rounded and a (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | | (...) Thanks! (...) Ahh! Excellent Idea. I will make the change. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of these in black but I should have a couple. If I followed this group closer I would have known what to use. (...) Done! I knew something didn't look (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | | | (...) I just totally disagree, it is a very weak connection, you can't pick the car up by the body, the trucks fall off. But it's cheap, those parts are easy to come by and you save a lot of plates in the floor. (...) Mr. 8Wide: "<ppssss-chhhhhuh> (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | (...) First thanks to everyone that posted or E-mailed me comments and suggestions. I have made a couple of small changes to the NELUG boxcar according to some of your suggestions. 1. I moved the trucks out toward the ends more. 2. I lost the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

| | | | | (...) Very nice try. Lots of good detail. Since you don't have bogie plates (which are cheap, go get some) or a floor plate (which I feel isn't worth the money, doing it with regular plates is the way to go) another alternative to the turntable (...)

The 2x2 tile is a great idea I should have thought of that. (...) Cool so I can let my (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | Eric, Very nice work. I can't see exactly how the fake doors are done. Can you (or someone) give me some pointers on using a plate as a sliding door?
