| (...) The double-Y will be difficult to do with both switches at the same position. You'd have to have some way to ensure both aren't set to reverse (curved) at the same time, and a reliable way to direct the train when both are normal (straight). (...)

| Hey all, While at the NMRA show this past July I was talking with a few people about the custom switches I make and I was given a challenge. In short the challenge was to make these: (URL) Now that I have some free time I would like to take on this (...) (19 years ago, 14-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| I like the general feel of this MOC, I think you have got most of the prototye details right. I like your truck design, I hope it works out in the ABS. I don't know if it would be possible but I think the oval cab door window could do with being a (...) (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains)

| Thats a great model on two levels. It looks great and has SO many innovative design solutions. I really like the way you did the curved grill in the roof (and the the small one at the other end too) The sideways chassis give a completely different (...)
