Reply to ""O" gauge trains and LEGO"

Got some more parts and some time to spend on the hopper build last night.

Observations:

1. Assume all the parts you didn't order because "of course I have tons of those" will be buried in the bottom of the bins.

2. Lots of interesting techniques on this model, but it makes some of them rather delicate during construction.

3. The final width may be a problem. 8 wide studs looks pretty good with O gauge, but the ladder details hanging off the sides pushes this out to nearly 10 wide, which is more than I bargained for. This will need to be reconsidered sometime after this model is done.

4. Only Batman and people who are suckers for eyestrain work in all black, and I am not Batman!

Anyway, here are some pictures:

Oh God where do I start!?

Vrmm Vrmmmm....

What way does this go again? Oh Jezz don't tell me I put the last four on upside down!

Break time!

Okay, starting to look like something here.

O I am going to need more coffee more this...

To be continued....
