Tim - That is my MOC. It isn't intended as a volkswagon thing, but now you mention, it does look like one. I basically tried to compress one of the mininland cars shown in the DK lego book down to a 4-wide version. It's one of my favorite four wide (...) (23 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) You're both right. In built up areas the rails are attached directly to concrete (very unprototypical) and in countryside settings, they rest on ties as you describe, But the ties are offscale, too large and too widely spaced. Frank's (...) (23 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

My recollection of the trains at LEGOLAND California was that the gauge was larger than No. 1. I also remember the rail looking like rectangular aluminum stock with much of it fastened in concrete, although some of the "country" scenes had ties, as (...) (23 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)

Nice car. I think you have captured the prototype well. I'm always looking for different intermodal ideas, and this is a type of car not seen in North America. "Jeroen de Haan" <jeroendehaan@mac.com> wrote in message news:GIx8C4.3tK@lugnet.com... (...) (23 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.trains)
