 | | 7-wide Elevated Train Cars —J. Spencer Rezkalla
|
| | | After all these years, I finally built my own train. It's a 7-wide version of an elevated passenger train. This model will make its debut along with an elevated train loop at MichLTC's display at the (URL) Great American Train show in Novi, Michigan (...)

| | | | | snip That has to be the best EMU (electric multiple unit) I have seen. Things I especially like: The third rail pick-ups on the bogies (trucks) The use of the Bracket 1 x 1 - 1 x 1 [LDrawPart 554:0] at the front corners for relief detail The whole (...)

| | | | | | | (...) It's shortened a fair bit (I was in Chicago last week and could see the CTA out the office windows, along with METRA double deckers)... but that's part for the course. The model overall rocks! I love the relay detail best I think, but there's (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | | | | | (...) Don't listen to him ;-) As a seven wide, this looks excellent. The need for this scale was especially brought out when I saw the interiour shots, where you get a 1 stud wide gangway (or whatever it's called) which would not have been possible (...)

| | | | | | (...) Hmm, I never really put much thought into scaling the length. I simply used the shortest length that gave me what I felt was the "right" mix of windows and doors. As it turns out, I just calculated that it's only about 4 more studs shy of (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Great model and perfect size (and width *)! 7w-Ben *) not to (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | Spencer, Very nice! The corrugated bricks are so much nicer looking when stacked with aligned seems! I really dislike the Santa Fe with the crossed seams. I was wondering if the 1/4 round roof detail was purposely done in 1 stud wide elements? I (...) (20 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Oh well I got a pretty good deal on all those [LDrawPart 6091:7]'s. (...) I used 2x4 (...) (20 years ago, 24-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
