Very nice models, Tom. Since you are obviously a train dude and interested in the details of model trains, I would suggest that you try modeling 8 wide. Not much extra work, but the results *look* a lot better proportion wise, if a prototypical look is what you're after. Also, I'd loose the buffers, which aren't proto to US stock and locos at all. I use the 2x3 rounded plate with hole to hold the magnet: http://lugnet.com/cad/ldraw/parts/ref/images/3176.gif When I see LTD (LEGO Train Dudes) who are doing cool stuff, I try to bring'em into the 8wide fold:-) -John Tom Cook wrote: > I have made some more additions to www.lgauge.com .

Thanks John. and yes, I agree about the buffers. Unfortunately, I have used up all my Black '2x3 rounded plates with hole' on my diesels! Do you know of a good source of Black ones? Tom p.s. I have some issues with 8wide, which I believe have been (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.wamaltc)

(...) You know, John, fellow GoBber, I love you dearly, but this constant harping on 8 wide makes you sound like a Jehovah's Witness. Especially when you're harping at people who have already considered it. :-) Perhaps if you were to come up with (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.wamaltc)

		Re: New Train Cars and Locos
(...) Tom, your new creations are cool. I like the waffle pattern. I think I can imagine how the wheels slide on your 44 ton loco. That's a nice solution, and I look forward to seeing details of it. Regarding 8-wide... noooooooo. Into the deep you (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.wamaltc)
