No, moving the hose segments to parts/s/ would NOT prevent the
shrinkage problem.
It doesn't matter whether a part is located in PARTS or PARTS/S,
it is still considered as a part.
Whenever a (sub-)part is referenced from another part, it is not shrunk further.
Only the model-to-part reference is shrunk.
Think e.g. of 3935.DAT "Wing  4 x  4 Right" which simply references
3936.DAT "Wing  4 x  4 Left"

Therefore IMHO the solution is to put all pieces of a curved hose into
a new part (or an MPD subfile).
Then the complete hose will be shrunk as a whole when referenced from
the model, just like the other parts referenced from the model.

(...) [snip] (...) I agree, I did that with the hoses on my loco (URL) and it seems the best solution. ROSCO (22 years ago, 27-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev)
