James, We're really on the same track ;-) I've just build a first version of a Dutch double decker train a couple of weeks ago, which strikingly resembles your train, with very different colors, though. I took pictures but they are still in the (...) (25 years ago, 6-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

I dunno, James. That is some funky looking train. I mean the prototype! Your model captures what is a pretty weird train pretty well. Exceedingly well, actually. Why the white tiles on the trucks?? To get the right look when it's not sitting on a (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes, they are a bit wider, that is true.
