Hi all, When I first put up links on the lugnet/trains page, I just picked a few that I knew were significant. Now that I have a bit more time to devote, I need your expert advice on how to make it more complete. Could you let me know what you would (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Like it or not: They're not in the same vertical plane. ;-) Just something I slapped on the roof to try out- give a simple hint of character kinda similar to some of the real Cisalpino pictures. Maybe I've seen someone else try this same (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Larry, the turntable will add a little bit of flex. Considering that John's trains are really long, the angle is substantially less than one would get with 6 wide trains. Also, I would be willing to bet that John is limited to slopes of 1 (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Were you going to mount that turntable sideways? I'm taking about flexing around a horizontal axis of rotation (that is, in a vertical plane)... so I don't see how the turntable helps matters. (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)

Can you post some more closeup views of your pantographs? I want to see more on how you did those, they look interesting. The rest of the train has a lot of promise too. I need to think more about how to utilize that skirted truck effect you've been (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
