(...) Actually, what if you added another plate? Perhaps one more might "sell" it better? But given the choice of just dropping the upper window or leaving it as is, I'd definitely opt for the latter. JOHN (18 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hi John, Thanks. My eye didn't entirely "buy it" either if I understand you correctly. I have to admit that I hadn't considered classic doors but I was kind of hoping to build this one so I was going for something I could make without too much (...)

(...) It's a question better answered by a modder like Ondrew, but I think you are correct-- "channel" probably wasn't the best description. Shaving down would work AFAIK. That is to match track height. Now the 9 volt train motor actually picks up (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) OK, thanks, that makes sense. So... do you really need something with a non-trivial profile -- a "channel", as you say, or does the top of the rail just need to be shaved down? I'm thinking that a woodworker's drum sander (the stationary kind (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) It's not a dumb question, but a good one. The reason is that the 9v track is molded slightly differently to account for the height of the metal, therefore making the final dimensions the same with the older, plastic rails (dimensions to which (...)

(...) This may be a dumb question -- I've never had a close-up look at a piece of R/C track -- is there something about it that prevents simply using some 9V straights and curves as "donors" for a metal transplant? -dave (18 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains)

Hi all, (2 URLs) BS> (URL) Flickr> A little historic tram from Warsaw. Gettint the nose angled right was a nightmare but I'm fairly happy with the final solution. Thanks to Samarth Moray for his suggestion to use part 4596 for the wheel covers. Tim (18 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX) !

(...) Not sure about the US, But S@H in Australia has it available now at $61.95 Aus. Of course it could just be that the European warehouse still have some and that's why it's showing up on your site... Benjamin Whytcross (18 years ago, 6-Jan-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
