(...) The Nerd Herd cars are never smeared with sooty grease that I can recall. Utterly destroyed, on occassion, but otherwise they are clean and pristine. (...)

--snip-- (...) I remember how pleased I was with the brown 1x2 brick and 1x2 plate I got as horse filler back in the 80s. And green was what baseplates and trees came in. I can just remember when grey was rare. Of course those lucky dogs in the LEGO (...) (15 years ago, 6-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Dood! Model railroaders go to great lengths to get that "weathered look!" (URL) When I was with the GMLTC, we did a show that featured an amazing guy who scratch-built these beautiful 8" gauge live steam locos. They were unfreaking believable! (...)

The painted silver parts can take a certain amount of abuse (I mean, the stuff doesn't flake off when you rub it, so...), and simply tipping over probably isn't enough to do much damage unless it's at high speed on, say, some sort of natural (...)

(...) Lol, just bustin' your chops! (URL) (...) Yup. I took on the "dark blue" challenge with (URL) this trolley>. Ahh, the good old days. Remember when orange was new? Or how about green. JOHN (15 years ago, 6-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I assure you any laying down of challenges was entirely unintentional ;) (...) Hah! You're going to have a really fun time detailing that one. There's a certain charm to building in the metallic colours. It's like dark blue in the good old (...) (15 years ago, 6-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Not so fast, Speedy. Although that is a beautiful MOC (which I hadn't seen until now; thanks for showing it), you've never seen my first metallic silver effect that I built a few months ago.

(...) Thanks, John! Being a sharp-eyed building connoisseur, you not doubt surmised that the "secret" to the roof is attaching all of the 2x2 tiles using only their center tube.
