hi this is a train with a sliding door: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=731148 When looking at the train we don't see the door because it looks like an ordinary window. This image shows the mechanism: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=731150 It uses two special plates to control the door movement. See the detail in this image: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=731152 When opening, the outer plate (in gray) makes the door to tilt. When pulled out, it is vertical again.
