I do, I do! Very nice work, Will! What is nice about modeling a 14 wide (is
that right?) Shay is that since it is a narrow gauge loco, it fits perfectly on
LEGO track (although the LEGO wheels are a bit small for scale).
My 14 wides utilized G scale trucks and track. I have to say, however, that I
am abandoning 14 wide in favor of 16 wide (and going the full 1:20 scale as is
miniland). I am almost finished with my first 16 wide car, but have been
working on other projects lately instead. Actually, I have been *working* more
than anything lately-- I hate it when work cuts into building time...;-)
