Congrats on your accomplishment. It is very rare that you find someone willing
to take on such a project. I have to say that it is very impressive in length
but I think it needs the little things like slopes to smooth out the lines of
the model and some of the other major details like grab rails.
Over all I really like it since I have never seen one in Lego and the fact that
it actually makes the corners is a major accomplishment in its self.
3 quick questions: does it negotiate points? Is it actually able to run on a
layout? How long is it in studs?
Thanks for showing us,
