Nice model. I've brought this up before.. I feel the train plates are
too confining and I hardly ever use them. I do agree that they give a
skirted look but the freedom I get to make any length I want and even to
include various non rectangular shapes is just too important.
My doodlebug is way longer than any of the train plates and has a
rounded corner front. Never would have been buildable with wagon plates.
On my PCC car, version two, finished last nite, I have a central stair
cutout, and both ends taper down to 4 for one stud to support use of
macaroni brick rounded corners.
GMLTCers will see my PCC cars versions 1 and 2 tomorrow nite and if one
of them brings a digital camera, maybe the rest of you will too. :-) I
REALLY need to get a replacement. Sigh. Too slothful to do more than
complain about it.
