That looks 6 wide??? Whas up? :)

JohnG, Conan(like he'll answer ;P )
Was the center beam held in by 1/2 offset plates on the bottom oriented
side-to-side and 1/2 offset plates on the top end-to-end; studs into plate
tubes?

Very nice, Steve.  Sorry I didn't respond sooner-- reading LUGNet through the
web interface is still new to me and I end up missing this thread:-/

It reminds me of a design Conan and J-1 built a few years ago.  I'm not aware of
any decent pics of it, but here is a glimpse of it in blue (they also made a
yellow one):

As you can see, they used the arches studs up.  Both designs say "center beam
car" very well!  At 7 studs, you edge closer to the dark side>;-D

I must, however, scold you for going through so much effort at realism on your
car and then go and put <shudder> *buffers* on it!  5 lashes with a section of
turnout track! ;-)
