I don't think that US prototype modellers like four-wheel waggons and
buffers on the end of their cars. But we must learn to compromise-LEGO®
train models are geared towards a European/UK appearance. I myself like
Euro-style trains, big, 8W American equipment to me seems to overpower small
layouts like mine. I feel comfortable building and running two-axle waggons
in my trains, to each his own...-Harvey
