On the idea of losing the buffers... I'm a newbie to the Train comunity since I just had to get the 4561 on sale for my son for x-mass. Has anyone considered making a boogie car?

I agree the black is hard to photograph :( With the Waffle side car, I was going for an excess height highcube look (URL) . It's supposed to be taller tan a regular box car, but did I go too tall? The funny blue may be due to my cheap camera :( I'm (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.wamaltc)

Very nice models, Tom. Since you are obviously a train dude and interested in the details of model trains, I would suggest that you try modeling 8 wide. Not much extra work, but the results *look* a lot better proportion wise, if a prototypical look (...) (23 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org.wamaltc)
