Hi Ross,
THANKS! It's actually quite flexible you know, it's not neccessary that it
should hang out too much. I've got this idea in my head, but I haven't yet tried
it out in real life: Use a jumper plate and fix it into the stud holes between
the wheels, and attach regular hinge plates with fingers to it. then add another
jumper on the other half of the hinge, and voila! you can add a 1 x 10 plate and
cover up the motor, making a nice fuel tank. As an added bonus, you can adjust
the hinge so your loco does not 'hang out more' unlike the design you just saw.
If you like that, you'll LOVE some of the stuff in my head, as I get down to
posting.
Thanks,
Samarth
