I was just wondering if there had been any discussion about the use of trademark names. by this I mean - say I wanted to build a Conrail Locomotive, or a Pennsylvania RR passanger car, or a box car with a product name on it.

Just wanted to share some pics of a gondola design that I have been working on. Sorry for the bad pics. (URL) you can see it's a Studs Not on Top gondola. I used this technique to get a depressed center look. 64 black 1x1s with side studs are used (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains)

No, but they are making elements representing famous Hollywood actors....;-) I think you mean "bogie" plates. Bogie is another term for truck, or simply the wheels.
