This is the first MOC I have posted. I have built a 36 Axle Schnabel Car. My
main goal was to build the longest train car, modeled on a real one, that would
go around a lego curve. From the pictures here
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=64061
I have succeeded. However, if I make the load any longer it will not make it
around a 180 degree turn. Speaking of loads the real car can transport 850 tons.
I am afraid it is not very well detailed. You can see pictures of the real car
here

Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Bruce

| Bruce, that has to be the largest piece of rolling stock ever built from The Brick. As always, the red enhances the massive look of this monster. It's sure to overwhelm anything else on LEGO® rails out there. -HRH- (20 years ago, 25-Nov-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| Bruce, is there any way you can post instructions for this? I'd like to take a shot at building one of these and perhaps displaying it at a local train show. -HRH (20 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
