Thanks Larry, I actually borrowed the tile idea from LEGO land, Billund. They actually "side" entire houses with this technique, but they have a ton of 1x8 tiles... BTW spelling has always been a problem for me (darn phonics). I didn't know that (...) (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I had always thought the bolster was the crossmember on the body, so of course I had to find out. We're both right if you look at (URL) my search I also found that tractor-trailer trucks also use similar terminology. In a truck, the kingpin of (...) (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't know if this has been mentioned before: if you want to hold a 2x plate/tile in place (particularly a vertical 2x1), a second row above the center-hole-beams with half-pegs is helpful/necessary; the one way I've found to do this is to (...) (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
