Hello fellow lugnetters,

I have just built the Fabuland Express mkI
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=1544

It is built on a 4.5v motor, with a Technic axle.
It is 8 studs wide.
The wheels are brown. (What other colors do those round bricks come in?)
I have used mainly Basic + Fabuland pieces & 1 Duplo piece for the chimney.
It is just a start for now.

Train people:
What are the proportions like? How can I improve?
Fabuland people:
How can I make it more Fabulandish?

Please let me know what you think & how to make it better.

Carl Watson

However, it looks like you are using technic rods (...) (24 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.fabuland, lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
