As for your second question, in MLCAD, the wheels without the holder are just that- wheels without the holder. Whats missing is a metal axle which connects the wheels to the holder. In real life, if you turn a train wheel upside down, this is clearly visible. Crazeed's model is built by removing the wheels with the axle assembly from the wheel holder- something which I'm quite fond of doing too- since it allows more options for authenticity when building a train. > My second question is hopefully a bit simpler.

It looks more like lego's own BI, rahter than the 'computer-POVray generated perfection' one commonly finds. Regards, Samarth

I've been tinkering with diesel-electric bogies in MLCAD, and I'm having trouble getting the effect I want; the Train Wheel Holder 9V, while nice for quick and dirty generic bogies, just gets in the way when you're actually trying to do something (...) (22 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad)
