Hi all,
  This is my first attempt at modeling a train in 8-wide.  I'd have to say
that im still not sure which size I like better.  This model is loosely
based on a Canadian Pacific 4-4-4 'Jubilee' that I saw on a website.  The
large gears with chains do work on the track.  This was the only thing I
could think of in order to simulate large train wheels. (The large train
wheels are probably older than I am). It should be exciting to see what
comes of this Train Summit.
