Thanks for the encouragement. The idea is to have 3 trucks (Larry was right) with the power truck in the middle. Since the center is short the power truck will be fixed (not swivel) which makes it easier to hide. As for the end trucks I will try (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

Cool beginnings... When you can solve the articulation problems you will have enabled a number of other designs to be created. Build on! I'm assuming (it's hard to tell from the proto pic) that this is a three truck design? One each at the ends and (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

I would love to see instructions or pictures of this device. I suppose I could tinker around with the idea on my own as well. John Matthews Larry Pieniazek <lar@voyager.net> wrote in message news:37DFA77D.E5BD4E...ger.net... (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

I like the photos. I think it's great to have the pages up whenever possible. Some more detailed shots would be great (I'm thinking of the Spaceneedle) James P (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) You could do it by posting semi-unique pieces next to the switch, and matching pieces on the fascia. The layout might look a bit odd with minifig heads and what-not stuck all over the track... Steve (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.trains)
