(...) You mean AmTrash? ;-) (...) Just a nit-- one is able to separate the axles by a half stud each. For my Hiawatha loco's tender I was able to do this and still not have problems with curves. I'm afraid that the pics I posted don't show it very (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

Yep, that clears it up. You think the low slopes (the 4x3x1, 2x3x1, or 1x3x1) would make a better nose. I thought you meant the 2x2x2 steep slopes. Thanks, Chris (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Yeah, it does look like a long engine in one of the pics. I actually have to fix the front coupler, it swings out too far on the curves and derails the cars when backing up. Now we have enough horsepower to pull all those heavy cars Tom is (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Hi Frank! I love the small classic passenger cars in white blue. In fact I was planning my Rheingold Express in that colour scheme, but I had to use a black roof at last, since I found no sloped corner bricks in grey. And the shape of a round (...) (24 years ago, 24-May-00, to lugnet.trains)
