    I was looking for custom capes this morning, and found one that might be similar if not exactly what you're looking for - CapeMadness.  He cannot sell his customs on BrickLink any more, but check there to see some of his work; new website is capemadness.com, I believe.  Not much there yet, but maybe contact him to see if these are indeed his work?  Hope this helps!

    My (non-train) Lego wife converted my Metroliner for me ... then I did a bit of optimizing to make it less noticeable.  The PF train motor replaced the 9V one and the PF battery box went behind the engineer's seat. The rearmost windows came out, so as to put the IR receiver near the top rear of the locomotive (I never understood putting a partial dining car into the loco anyway). Just my two cents!

    I really liked the 2009 Farm subtheme of City - I think I got all the sets from it!  It had vehicles (obviously), a few structures, baseplates (though a brown one would have been awesome for plowing/planting crops) ... I could go on and on.  Great starting point to modify or MOC your own farm - only structure missing was a farmhouse, in my opinion.  Just my 2 cents!

    I can't find one at the moment, but the larger ones (46203*) are weighted so that they could glide down the various terrains that one could build in the Gravity Games sets in which they came.  So my thought is that the underside has no tubes to receive studs.  I cannot remember whether the studs are filled or not, but none of the BL pictures have hollow studs, so I would assume not.  If I can find one, I'll update this post with any info I come up with.  Hope this helps?

    Depending on how thick you want the stripes to be, there is something called chart tape that ranges in width from 1/16" (about 1.5mm) and upwards.  It comes in several different colors including white, and is removable if you want to do so.  I hope this may help you in finding a solution to your dilemma.

    For what it's worth, I rather like the way your windows (and the rest of the house) have turned out thus far.  Nicely done!

    Regarding @legotownlinz 's comment, I think TLG may wish they'd put out a 400+ piece Modular this year, because it would be selling like hotcakes given the current situation in the world! :laugh:  Instead, they are using a few of their production lines to make face-shields for medical workers during these trying times, for which they are to be commended.  But I do hope they get their backorder & temporarily-out-of-stock sets back online at some point, since many of their stores aren't open just yet and I'm sure some of those sets are sitting in those dark storerooms, all alone with no one to build them ... so sad :cry2:

    Voted for it, though it was difficult to choose - being a former music educator & musician, I liked all the top nine entries for various reasons.  But I've always been a sucker for a great modular ... :classic:

    Well, I've used the Really Useful Boxes to store some of my modulars, train & town vehicles, etc. in when not displaying at shows - and they've been just fine.  I tend to use the translucent or transparent kinds, though if you're storing in a sunny area you might want something opaque (if they still make them?).  Just my two cents!

    I believe one of the Historic headers may have snuck into the Train forum, as it seems to have acquired a new look including a dark red "THE DRAGON'S DEN" header and other changes.  I believe the Train forum would like its old header, et al. back ... so if someone could chain it back in these parts? :dsweet:  Thank you very much!

    I simply do not understand why the Train forum now has what seems to be a very Castle-ish header?  It would be fine being part of Historic Themes somewhere, but not here!  Also, I  miss the post date being directly to the right of the poster's username.  Please someone, change it back, or to something else? Thank you very much!

    Well done!  I love the small vehicles - the little tanker is detailed and cute, and the space tractor-trailer looks like a natural extension of Classic Space, as does your Command Space Centre.  The bumblebee stripes make everything mesh together too!

    As said by others, beautiful building with an amazing resemblance to the original! I love the inclusion of sand red and sand green in the build - they raise your MOC from "similar" to "re-creation in Lego"!  The only detail the confuses me is the colored plates just above the windows on the green-striped floors - I just don't see that coloring in the original building, but that may just be my eyesight.
