For some reason, this seems to add a great deal of tension to the axles. In fact, I noticed (prior to putting a (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.pt)

| Good to see models of some British prototypes - I've always wanted to build a few British diesels and electrics. I always encounter the same problem though - the windows just don't look right, having said that the 37 looks fairly convincing! I too (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.loc.uk)
