This has got to be the most impressive MOC collection of trains in the world,
James. You are one prolific dude, dude:-) I like the way you end on 8 wides--

I noticed you have gone to great lengths to offset the sides and roof, but as I
look at the proto, I see that the offset is negligible. I happened to notice
this because I have just gone through the same design exercise with a couple of
box cars of my own, and I decided to use the breaks in the tall bricks to
*imply* the offset, even though they are flush. Did you ever consider doing
this? (Sorry I don't have pics yet to illustrate).

| (...) John, Are you saying that stacking 1x2 bricks atop each other to make a wall will imply an offset because the gap between the adjacent bricks suggests a shadow and thus an offset? Chris P.S. I have given up on the whole offset thing (for now). (...) (24 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
