Thanks Larry,
Funny thing is I can't agree you more on the trucks. the first run had two
spaces but I removed them to add in the ladders, I am going to remove the
ladders and put in the spacing, I didn't really want to put the trucks together
like that but I have a tendency to start building and not change the design or
make things convienent for myself.. heheh
I wasn't going to use the stripes in the beginning but I have this thing where
I hate MOC that are only one color.. Even if the coaches are solid
silver/grey... I figured what the heck make it unique rather then a copy. The
other issue was if I was to copy it I would need a ton more of those darn
corigated grey bricks...
Thanks again.. Hopefully the changes will be made and we will finally see a
mature coach all done and decorated pretty..
Wayne

| Wayne, I love the passenger cars. I just have one suggestion. The red in the stripe doesn't quite fit the engine. Using the 6 by 28 train bases, still at S@H for $3, (URL) widen the stripe. Hope to see them in person soon. -John Rudy (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
