Thanks. I need some advice for making it run smoother, though. How do other
people attach the motor to plates without using a train baseplate? I have a
solution using a technic 2x4 plate flush with the base of the loco, but maybe
there is a smoother solution? Also, my couplers are attached to the frame of
the train instead of the trucks and I think this causes some problems when
pushing another car. What's a good solution for frame-mounted couplers
(currently using a 2x3 plate with hole in center top...with the coupler put in
upside down to get it lower)?

Yeah, I had fun with the lettering. Anyone notice the UP 7740 on the other
side...I guess that's kinda corny. I thought about UP 0937 too :)

It's a Plate 3 x 3 without Corner (http://img.lugnet.com/ld/2450.gif) with
tiles on top sitting on a half-stud offset tile.
