This is indeed a great train, both the real thing and James' model are very
impressive. Instead of half tracks I would love Lego to make 3 axle motors
(again), doesn't have to be a driven axle althrough that would help the traction
for some trains.
I also LOVE the UP car. I see James has borrowed some techniques from the SF
cars ;-) and love to see a complete set of cars. And a loc. Maybe an idea for
MTW or Brikworx to sell? As far as I can see there are no hard-to-get-parts
(yet).

| (...) Jeroen is right, James, that UP car is awesome too and most definetely needs other cars AND a locomotive! A bunch of GP-38's...? :-) Greetz, Anton (21 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.trains)
