Wow! That’s a fantastic light rail model. And in six wide! Brilliant work.
I was wondering how you used the engine in the shared bogey? You have pictures
of the other wheelset (with the spring loading) but not the engine. I ask
because I want to try a similar thing for the Metrolink light rail here in
Manchester but can’t seem to fit the engine in. You however, seem to have
managed quite nicely.
Now all you need to do is round its face a little more ;-) (mutters and
complains about how easy rounding is if you just have eight bricks to work in)
Cheers for any help,
Tim

The motor connection works the same way. The only difference is that I had to
make some slight changes to accomodate the form factor of the motor. Namely the
pin that sticks up in the middle and the two ‘hooks’ on each end. It’s far
easier to show than to tell so I uploaded some detailed pics to Brickshelf that
should illustrate the differences. You can find them
here. I hope they
help.

lol, I’ll leave that as an exercise for someone else. :)
No problem. Let me know if you want any more details.

Thanks for that. I actually managed to reverse engineer it from the pictures
last night but these new pics confirm that I’d done it correctly. I’ll steal it
for my own model as it has such a flat profile.
