Oh that little engine on the flatcar is just so cute!

Small question tho, did you consider putting any 1x6 lt. grey plates on the drive wheels of the mini-model to better match the large engine’s rods? Or did it seem they would be too big in that scale?

Thanks!

I hadn’t thought about putting plates/tiles on the wheels, but I had thought about grey light sabre blades. After I read your post I tried putting a plate and then a tile on the wheels, and as you said, it’s just too big for the scale. Light sabre blades (bars) work well for size, but I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to attach one that isn’t sticking out too far away from the wheels and is stable enough to ride around a layout on the flat car I made.

I’ve spent, total, a good four hours trying to figure it out, and I think I’ll just leave it be for now. Maybe in a few months I’ll revisit it and maybe I’ll be able to come up with something.

Thanks for the reply!
