I knew I had taken a few pictures, just needed to get them uploaded!

Union Pacific passenger cars I built for the Challenger to pull. I built
five of them, but I still need to add some ‘do-dads’ below the car...
You can see that I’m running a very simplified pushrod system. The Technic
liftarm slides behind a 1x2x2 thin-wall panel. So it doesn’t move straight
forward and back, but I wasn’t looking for accuracy. I was just looking for
movement, because it’s all about making kids happy. ;-)
And yes, it can handle the tight LEGO corners. I’ve spent many many hours
getting the articulation to work!

Spiffy! Very nice work indeed and it certainly shows off the drivers. I wish one
of your closeups had been on a regular curve so the blind offset would be more
obvious (either that or they WERE on curves meaning that the offset is
miniscule!)
Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing
