So James, which part is the "loco" and which part is the "rolling stock"?
Great looking railer!!!!



This is a rear engine racer, so the back would be the "loco" while the "rolling
stock" actually slides over part of the "loco" for a clean look.

The front section ("rolling stock") does have it's own wheels and couples to the
engine section ("loco") so it's stays well with in the guidelines of a modified
racer.

Be prepared to give up the title this year Rob!

A very cool looking beast indeed - but does the aerofoil actually contribute to
its track-holding capability? ... and I hope the racing will be recorded on
video for those of us who can't make it ...



Of course it does, after extensive air tunnel testing I have adjusted the size
and angle perfectly to get the most traction possible.....ok maybe not, but it
does look cool :)
