Dean- Here is how I'd do it: (URL) use the layer on the right for the bottom, and the one on the left on top of it. Since I build 8 wide, I need to make custom wagon plates all the time. I do, however, use 6 wide wagon plates for my box cars, but I (...) (25 years ago, 27-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains)

Lego will not sell accesories to retailers! Wow, Rob, that is infuriating.
