Hi folks, I just wanted to post and thank MonLUG for welcoming us to their train show last weekend. It was a great success and their layout was nothing short of spectacular.

Infact it might be possible to drop one pair of drive (...) (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) Nice! With regard to the drive wheels, can you somehow include a vertical wheel (free-wheeling) resting on top of the rails, to take most of the weight? ROSCO (23 years ago, 12-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)
