Tony / Mark,
I loved Mark's 8-wide trains, so much so that it spurred me on to rebuild my
(relatively) poor attempt at a triple-grey railfreight liveried class 56
with aggregates sub-sector branding. I used my OO guage Mainline model for
the dimensions and multiplied everything up by 76/43 (4mm to 7mm:ft). What a
difference! My first foray in 8-wide trains. If you haven't tried it, have a
go, it makes all the difference. The front-ends are so much more realistic
as a result. I'll bring it along to the Scottish fest.
Anyway, on to the reason for the post; the question is, can Mark's Co-Co
locos navigate Lego curves?! At the moment my 56's bogies are rigid and I
doubt if it would go round corners. I wondered if Mark had tackled this
problem?
Now, where can I get some inverse tan slopes to build a rake of ARC PGA
hoppers?.....
