Thanks for building the container cars. I've only built two cars; ie:
(wheels with magnet)-car-(shared wheels)-car-(wheels with magnet)
From other container car discusions here, I think that this whole string of
cars is actually defined to be "one car" in the freight train industry. Is
that completely independent of how many cars you string together with shared
wheelsets? Say ten cars all with shared wheels; still one car?
Dave: Your build-ups of the cars look good. I like the ladders. Do they
run OK through curvy-curves and through switches OK in both push and pull
directions?
later,
James

| So far they run well through the curves but I havent had a chance to try them through switches. There doesnt seem to be any interference with the laders. And I belive they tend to run the container cars in groups of 3's and 5's. Now I dont know if (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
