  While I still do not know what will come of the NOLTC[1] I have built
the first two pieces. I have done a second version of an EMD SD40-2 and
a Caboose. There are some new ideas, and a lot of old ones. I am really
happy with the these two pieces. Let me know what you think.

I really hope you like them, and if anyone can help me find 2 to 10 1 x
2.5 blue tile-with-two-upward-facing-hinge bricks (need 2 but would like
10 to replace the ones that were borrowed from other sets) and 9 black
hinge-with-1x1-round-plate-at-end brick I would be very happy. If you
could also tell me what those pieces are called that would be good.

Thanks,
Chris


1. I think that I would like to do a show, but I wonder if I will. I
could put together a small freight train but I do not think I could do a
layout. I am working on a set of buildings but one set of buildings does
not make a layout,

Locomotive: The vents, railing, and stairs are very elegant! I really like the 1/2 stud offset for the 1/4 curved inset blue bricks. Very very nice. Caboose: Everybody who sees my trains asks, "Where's the caboose?" Sigh. You've got nice detail, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
  Re: New models
 
Yep, I am replying to myself. I should have said this to start with, but I guess I was being cagey because I decided to go eight wide. First, going 8-wide was a very hard decision to make, and I nearly canned the attempt before it really got off the (...) (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Thanks for posting the links Chris! At first view I was astonished about these high detailed models: whow! It took at least a whole minute till I realized they are 8-wides. That might have helped to make them appear so realistic, but still (...) (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

Chris, Being very new at building MOC trains, I've got one question. How did you do the 1/2 stud offset on the caboose? It really looks like a professional job. Bryan "Christopher Masi" <cmasi@cmasi.chem.tulane.edu> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 29-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
