Leanne,
Welcome to the club! I think that most trains have those kind of doors, but
they are too difficult to build with Lego, so they just made the train doors

not going to be possible to do otherwise.[1] If you figure it out, definitely
tell the rest of us.

[1] It *can* be done, just not at minifig scale, and who wants to build
trains to Technic Fig size. (Well... me, but the lack of wheels, track and
size restrictions inside the house prevent that.)

| Hiya! I'm working on a model of the San Diego Trolley, and am trying to figure out how best to emulate the doors on the trolley. They're a sort of gull-wing type in that they pop out from the trolley before sliding to the side. Has anyone (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.trains)
