For a tension tamer before the first week of classes, I dug out a lot of the lego that has been packed away for several weeks due to my move and built this wheel carrier car. (URL) was inspired from a reference picture that I saw in an (...) (24 years ago, 27-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I had about 200 pieces of track as the loop (my upper loop), and about 30 bogie cars, plus the rest 2 axle cars (so, about 240 axles towed)...the train was 5-7 cars short of being connected at both ends :). Loop was just straight and corner (...) (24 years ago, 26-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) The problem is the length of the first car - how long is it? In real life it would take a half container which in LEGO 6-wide container terms would be around 12 to 14 studs long. I think you've got the main part of the cab there which is the (...) (24 years ago, 26-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I can't remember that, Rail Magazine had a review of the Cargo Sprinter, saying how the cost compares to lorries. The closest that RailTrack (who run all of Britain's track signalling and stations(1)) have got to the CS is the MPV (...) (24 years ago, 26-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ben... I don't know, but I have picked up a few of those slopes and not all from the 7740. The other day I went to a pram shop cos I knew they had some lego. There was only two tubs of it but they let me root around and take the parts I (...) (24 years ago, 26-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

James, taking your word for it -- and I do -- I was very surprised that we couldn't recreate a similar scenario. Question, did you acheive these results on a straight run or otherwise? Did you run for any appreciable amount of time? I believe we (...) (24 years ago, 26-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)
