Great set of MOCs! It's so fun to be overwhelmed by an on slaught of MOCs. The capt'n hook handrails are great, although I don't think I can get any of those back from my prirate crazed 5 yr old son! And one on of my favorite pass times is to use (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

Dan, Sounds interesting. As long as you are soldering LEDs, maybe you could wire a blue one between the wheels and have it brush against contacts in the track intermittantly to create the blue arcing effect so typical of these trains. Now that would (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

I like the SD90MAC, I had a 6 wide version of the SD90MAC, maybe i should go for an 8-wide version of the SD90MAC-H. My SD90 just didn't look good, it seemed small. Josh (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)
