(...) Just rambling here in hopes of spurring some other ideas. Do you want the tank held down at the first stud level or just prevented from coming loose? If the latter, perhaps something with a stud reversed? If the former, barring using things (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)

That is a very clever design, Dean. Funny, I was just talking to Mike Poindexter last night and he was talking about doing the same thing! Now, here is what I think: If you can come up with this ingenious design to get around using rare parts, you (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.trains)
