I have actually built these and haven't had access to a good camera, maybe
tomorrow. They actually run very well forward, being pulled, but tend to
bind up a bit running backwards, being pushed.
The renderings are slightly different from what I built. I have been trying
various detailing on the doors and "log" columns. The built ones have the
same doors, but the log stack is different and are not all idnetical. The
rear most stack is (from top to bottom) a 1x2, two 1x1 headlights with black
tile "HC310" (whatever that licence plate reads), then three green logs on
top of that. The remainders are two 1x2's and three 1x2 logs. This breaks up
the side panel a bit and holds down the number of green log bricks.
Another thing, fortunately, but unintentional, is the fact that the lighting
in these renderings make the green look dark, like the real life paint. The
ABS coaches are a bit brighter.
