Hi All,
I brought some train MOCs to the NMRA NTS ‘07 and finally took some pics and
uploaded them to BrickShelf.

I saw these in person and they are impressive! The car carriers especially
stood out.
Did you consider using two rows of the treads next to each other for a wider
door way appearance at all?
Best,

Here is pic of a real one (see below, the image is a link too), the one wide
panel I think works well. Also I was trying to give this car a longer look even
thought it is already at 40 studs (my personal limit). It is about the same size
as a double stack. I should actually put this car next to one of my other
boxcars for scale.

Ah, yes. Thanks for the link. I was actually hoping for another reply (see
below) - I think your cars look great as is. One can tell exactly what they
are from the models and to me that is what is important.

Glad to hear that! Somewhat of an aside, we were out galavanting Tuesday night
and ended up at a karaoke bar at about 1:00 am.
I just happened to see Taps “Sex Farm” on the song list. I don’t normally
participate in karaoke, but was 4 or 5 drinks in at the time and decided to go
for it.
It was quite funny and really brought the house down.

Those are great looking car carriers. The tread links are a brilliant use of a
new element!
The only thing I could even suggest is to snot a tile between them for the
vertical support, but that would be a pretty trick change.
I hope to see them in person someday!

Thanks John, They’ll be at NW BrickCon... you can see them there! :)
As for the SNOT’ed tile I did that at the ends and the uprights betweee the
treads are 1/2 stud off-set to accomidate spacing.
Thanks for the comments! It’s always an honor to get a comment from a fellow
old-schooler! ;)
