   I guess I should post this to RTL first, but I thought I'd try it hear... On PNLTC, there's a Chessie Caboose. I'm guessing that stickers were used on the caboose... Now, I've just recently gotten into trains (so I know very little and next to (...) (26 years ago, 6-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)

     Mike - You'd probably be real close if you looked for O scale decals. I've seen other LEGO train-heads use Kadee O scale couplers instead of the standard cylindrical magnets, and they seem to apply nicely to the existing LEGO train scale. Perhaps O (...)

     Michael, I used dry transfer decals for my steam engine ((URL) You can find these at most train hobby stores. A word of caution though, they are not easy to put on.

        Re: Chessie Caboose —Steven Barile
   Funny how these threads spam groups so fast. LeoCad is great. The only trouble is that it is really slow. I have talked with the author and he is really nice, however he was busy at school. I ran LeoCad on the fastest PC in the world with a (...) (26 years ago, 9-Oct-98, to lugnet.trains)
