And now there is the 3rd new 7-wide waggon in 3 days... But no big deal this
time: more or less just a copy of the first waggon, but with different freight
and in colour brown. I love these flap pieces: I have similar waggons (but 6-w)
in blue, mint-green, tan, black and red so far....

I myself was amazed: I had these hubs since years, but I never solved 3
problems with them to be used as tanker car.
- attachment to the waggon base (this did not work that nice in 6-w, I'm amazed
how this one extra stud gives room for lots of new building ideas.)
- ladders, railing and dome on top (how to fix it and how to make it appear
lightweighted)
- worst problem have been the face side of the tank. In real life as well as in
the pictures the grey tyres from the 60ies fit perfectly with the hubs in
diameter and colour.

Yes there a lots of cool creations (René has now uploaded 144 galleries - most
of them have come up in the past month).
I'm especially amazed how many names have appeared there, that I never have
read before. That have to be the lurkers, that never have published any model
so far, but they are top level builders as well (which means, they probably
have lurked for a long while, since I doubt an isolated builder can reach the
building abilities we got by inspiring each other).
"Leg Godt!"

| (...) Ben, These new 7-wides are really nice. Love that tanker car; especially the way it is attached at the base and folds up to the top of the tank. Ellegant and thin. Thanks for the reminder to look at the contest site. Wow! Nice pieces of work (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)
