(btw, what is a concertina wagon?)

The other Tim has answered that better than I could.

Tim, I’ve been meaning to ask you, since I’ve noticed it before, how do you do your trucks with the standard wheel/axle but not the housing of the official wheelsets? Is it all standard parts? Does it run well? It looks much more prototypical for a lot of North American rolling stock to do it as you’ve done (as I’m sure is the reason you do it).

It’s a trick Samarth Moray showed me which he thought was invented by Ross or John Neal. You hold the wheel in between two rows of two 1x2 plate with rail (Part 32028). It rolls very smoothly and looks very nice and as an added bonus (as I discovered in my Tatra tram) it can be used in a snot configuration.

Thanks -Paul

Tim

Thanks. I’ve got to try that now.

Also, thanks to the other Tim for the explanation and pics for the concertina wagon.

-Paul
