| | | | | That's looks pretty good. I've been using this set like crazy in my town stuff and i've seen the castle guys using it as well. I've bought at least 10 so far. This is such a wonderful set for such a cheap price! I'm so happy LEGO came out with it. (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | Looks good Rich, I really like the ladders and the top platform. It seems to sit a bit high on the trucks for my personal taste, but there's not much you can do unless you start using 2x2 turntables to attach the trucks to the frame. -chris ps. your (...)

| | | | | | (...) Rich, it looks good. I like the way you got the ladders on. So far, I think that this is the most successful tank car from the droid escape set. However, I too think that it it to high off the trucks. The greatest feature of the droid escape (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | I added some closeups of the trucks ((URL) to show the difficulty in attaching them. Any other ideas? I tried attaching the trucks with single plates instead of the double plates that I have and they were not very stable rolling on track. The tank (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | (...) To be honest, I prefer Kevin's (the "two" sets above are early and show versions of the same cars.) The "side-railing" stuff on yours is nice, but the cars are too short IMO. SRC (23 years ago, 6-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | Oh man, I think Kevin's longer tank cars are great! They are what inspired me to try again on my tank car design. The reference tank car I was going after is here: (URL) tank car is more squat (squatier?). I think Kevin's tank car is more like: (...) (23 years ago, 6-Mar-01, to lugnet.trains)
