I'm glad you brought this up about the 9v train motor "little attachment nubs".
I think they are one plate too low.

I use trans-white.
If I want a translucent light blue, I use the following color number:
0x069DF9DF
I use this color number for trans-light blue as L3P seems to turn the MLCad
trans light blue into a very dark trans blue for POV-Ray renderings. ???

For chrome/silver/rails I've also tried color numbers:  494 and 503. But, I
can't remember what the result was....sorry.  I found these color numbers
during a search through the lugnet.cad forum.

later,
James Mathis
