No problem and thanks for the fast response! If only all site maintainers
would act as graciously ;)

I would like to add some information regarding a few more details of the
car
models:  removable luggage-racks on lower level of the "transition coach"
and the "coach" cars; a "power generator" for each car; and an alternative
wheel/truck design for "bufferless trucks".  The real-life Hi-Level cars
had these luggage racks on the lower level so passengers could have access
to there
larger suitcases that would not fit in there coach chairs.  Apparently,
each car
had its own dedicated power generator, as well.  I think the bufferless
trucks are appropriate. The standard official LEGO Super Chief car trucks
are shown.
Either design should work.  I've tried them both through a hard "s-curve"
of track.

As soon as I've moved I'll have to try building some of these... although
they might get a bit of 7 or 8 wide modding :D
