(...) Another idea (and I'll stop after this, I promise!) would be a bit harder to implement, but may work in the end. How about removing one of your trailing pairs of wheels and redesign in a fourth pair of drivers, making your train from a 4-6-4 (...)

(...) That is just too cool. I've watched the movie many times now, I love the sounds your engine makes! I hope you're able to get it to run reliably, I'd love to see it on a loop of some kind. I have a suggestion for the performance issue, but I'm (...) (18 years ago, 1-Nov-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)
