(...) Have you tried not using the power leads at all? I haven't tried it, but it would seem that if you cut a 'normal' 9volt wire, split the end and strip a short section of wire -- you could pry up the metal part of a rail enough to slip the wire (...)

Hej Niels, I only just began creating parts myself, but here's my thoughts. The origin between the studs sounds oki, that'd make snapping it to the grid much easier. On what side the buffer is, is not that important I think. Perhaps there is some (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)
