I'd like to see the model that uses the Naboo Fighter glass for a double deck car. I've used 1/4 curved "Paradisia" windows for an observation car match to my 7740. (URL) tried a few designs for double deck commuter. Indeed, this one looks (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

Great work, it really looks nice. If you find that it is too noisy, you might look into the cork subroadbed that is advertized in the model railroading magazines. I am pretty sure there is one 6 inches wide. Michel Magnan (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.fun.crafts)

Yes, I am concerned that the slack action could result in a high failure rate, especially if there is not a strong structure at the end of the car to help keep the coupler attached to the car. Thanks for the kudos. The design occurred to me when I (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) 1000 is definitely way too much, at this point. I think GMLTC typically looked for some amount that would cover the expenses (gas, budget lodging if it was a long way away from MSP, etc.)... 100 seems reasonable, maybe a bit more. I'd ask GATS (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.trains.org)

How much is a reasonable amount? $100 $1000? It would be nice if we looked more formal with skirt, large banner sign, maybe roped off build area. Use fee to buy skirt, etc? Mark (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf, lugnet.org.us, lugnet.trains.org)

It came from a Universal Set from the 70's. I had one in the 404, I think, but I am going from memory. I believe that there may have been another set with the motor in yellow, but I don't know which one that would be. Mike Peter Simpson (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

Very nice design. No springs either! I will definitely try it. The slack action, as you mentioned, is a concern, but kudos to the design that allows you to push and still have the coupler pivot. "Christopher Masi" <cmasi@cmasi.chem.tulane.edu> wrote (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
