Hi All, I was hoping to get some discussion going so I posted a ton of MOCs on BrickShelf. Sure I'm fishing for some complements and even some comments from Lar ;D, but really just wanted to share some ideas. With that said... (even URLs) Freight 3x (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ok, I'll bite. I liked most of your freight. I used your centerbeam as inspiration for my 2 that I have now. I did modify it some to make mine unique. I loved the propane tank! I want to do my own on your design. I'm still trying to figure out (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

Hey Steve, I really like your work. One question regarding (URL) similar. How did you do the sliding doors? Eric Kingsley did something similar on his box cars and sent a short explanation. He did his with single stud 1x2 plates as the 'rails' on (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

<verbose on> Thanks for the comments guys. I really like the feedback (and its fun to show off a bit). Sometimes you're just too close to your own designs to make valid crtiques. Boxcar Doors They do not slide. I used technic beams with the stud-end (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ah, that is why the 1x1 cylinders are there, huh? I was wondering what they were for. If backwards is a problem the thing that pops to mind is, does the rounded technic beam need to pivot? If not maybe it could be locked down in two places? I (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

Hi John, Mike is right... <<Grey ones can be found in 6748 Boulder Cliff Canyon. (URL) As for the gray corners, I have bought several collections that had many gray corner walls elements (I think they are from castles sets). I actually ran out of (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Mike, I love your yellow tankers as well. I think I will try your design first since it uses angled roof tiles for the sides of the tank instead of castle corner pieces. I've seen those sets at Wal-Mart before. I might get a couple now that I (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
