Next, staying 6-wide, I may try rounding out only the section of the waggon
base that is in between the two bogies.  Maybe this would still achieve the
rounded look yet keep the overall waggon height lower.  ??

Hey, just for reference (in reality;-), here is one of my corrugated passenger cars
which I rounded underneath between the trucks.  I really like the effect.

Yeah, that looks really nice.  Darn those Brits for making the underside of
the IC125 waggons look to be roundd over the full length of the car-- even
above the bogies.

It kind of forces your hand to go 8 wide, or at least 7, don't it? Even if
you go with the low profile outer journalless truck that Chris showed
recently you can't rotate the wheels and fit within a 4 wide area.

I was thinking about Chris' method; brilliant work!.  Not sure I would like
that look on this passenger waggon.

8, 7, ugh. ;-)

I am just loving the way you got that upside down and sideways stuff to work
in your mockup, interlocking those 1x2-1x4 brackets is brilliant!

That was fun to figure out.

John: Thanks for the reference back to your corrugated passsenger cars.

They do look sweet, although the amount of corro they consume makes one >blanch!

Yikes!

later,
James Mathis

(...) Ya, but a lot of modern euro/british stock uses those style wheels. (...) Roger that! :-) (MTW-1004 is 6 12/15 wide with an 8 wide load, though... (yes I said 12/15 it's two extra tiles sideways wider...) ) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.trains)
