 | | 2 Stud Wide LEGO® Train Cars! —John Neal
|
| | | A while back I had some fun building some 4 wide train cars which were amazingly similar to HO scale in model railroading. Well, my daughter and son (12 & 10) thought it would be fun to build some *2* wide train cars, and so that is what they did. I (...)
