 | | Re: Christmas Trolley in Metallic Silver (drool)
|
| (...) Whoa, thanks for the heads up. Our tree is in a carpeted room, and I doubt I'll ever run the thing except around Christmas time. It'll probably spend most of its life on display. Sad to hear about the scratching issues, Dave. I will remember (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

|
| (...) In-home, floor level use is probably fine, but if you ever run that on a layout you better hope that it doesn't take a spill, or the silver paint is likely to get uglified. I was never really sure if they were painted or not, but recently I (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)
| | | | | Christmas Trolley in Metallic Silver (drool)
|
| Here is a little trolley that I built yesterday to run around the Christmas tree this year: (URL) Aside from the WOW factor of seeing a MOC completely in a rare color, it was a pretty straight-forward build. The only tricky part was the fact that I (...) (15 years ago, 4-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX) !

| (...) But that's humorously apropos! :-) (...) Thanks, IMO it is too small to snot lining. Even the 10 wide version I'm working on is too small. That, or I'm too lazy...;-) (...) Yeah, I'm working exclusively from the videos-- never actually seen an (...) (17 years ago, 30-Nov-07, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

Interesting that you've not gone down the SNOT lining route, I'm still in two minds as to whether its a good thing on a (...) (17 years ago, 29-Nov-07, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)
| | | | | My Latest Iteration of Thomas the Tank Engine (with BBB wheels:-)

| In my never ending pursuit of the perfect Thomas MOC, there has been a HUGE development: Years ago I begged Ben Fleskes to make some BBB wheels in blue. Though I'm not sure it was because of my begging, he has FINALLY produced BBB wheels in blue (...) (17 years ago, 29-Nov-07, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX) !!

|
| (...) I'm sorry to hear about the Hiawatha... have you localized the exact problem when it goes into the uneven track? I've run into the same problem before on most of my steamers, and I've found some solutions and still looking for others. Do you (...)

| | | | | Re: ILTCO National Convention 2007: I'm steamed...
|
| (...) Well, after building my Hiawatha last year I threw in the steam engine towel for a while. The locomotive ran fine at home, but couldn't take the bumpy track we have at shows and it dirtied the track like no tomorrow. Then I saw what you and (...)

Makes one wish there was some sort of LEGO Steam Engine link list somewhere (is there?)... but I don't wish there was one because then someone would suggest (...)

That was crazy...I won't tell you how we did in sales, but I think it made TLG look at the potential of one-shot on-site stores. If you tag along as a (...)
