  Re: Compressionism
 
(...) I felt uncomfortable with compressionism (for my own MOCs) and I prefered not compress, choosing between staying stuck in 6-wide or not running my trains on difficult layout (uneven, curved,...).

(...) At least you've tried it Jason. A lot of the critics of wider trains haven't had a decent go at it. It takes tenacity to make it work. I've been at it for 9 years now! If Lar is waiting for wider radius curves before trying it, let's see his (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

It is impressive. At first I thought, "that's a good train, for a non-train builder". Then I saw the robot mode and said "ooo!". My eyes focused on the joints that glued it together because that's the hard part of transformation. You generally need (...)

Hands down this has got to be the coolest train MOC I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing. Chris. (20 years ago, 25-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Adrian, that is amazing. Wow, just look at how you made that all work together. So very clever and really tough I bet! A great idea made real in LEGO. My goodness that's so cool. Bravo on your idea come true. Thank you. e (20 years ago, 25-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, lugnet.trains)

Of all the types of compression, this particular one makes a train look wonky IMO. There is just no getting (...) (20 years ago, 30-Mar-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

I'm rather proud of this creation. I worked very hard to make the locomotive look as cool as possible. Many thanks to Shaun Sullivan, whose designs were my inspiration.

<Throws bucket of cold water on the whole 6-wide vs. 8-wide posturing...> Build what you like. If it runs, great! If not, either live with it, or rebuild it.
