Glad to hear you like it. I'll be working on it some more tomorrow, I'll
try to take some more pictures showing the linkages and guide wheels. I
*think* the same idea will work for four drive wheels in a row, I'll try it
out and see what happens. If it works, my next project will have to be the
4-8-4 Milwaukee Road #261: http://www.261.com -- it "lives" about 4 blocks
from the GMLTC secret lair! (Biggest question is how to get enough dark red
pieces to build the orange and dark red passenger cars it pulls...)
John Kelly (the GMLTC webmaster and site host) showed me how to update our
website, so there's no stopping me now! <*crazed laugh*>
;-)
