Curious about the bufferless trucks. Is there a reason that you didn’t go
with them completely? Do you like the ones with the buffers better? Are
there running problems with the bufferless ones? It looks like the cars
would have slightly less space between them which I suspect would look more
prototypical but may have issues in the tight LEGO curves.
Thanks!

Hi Paul,
I’ve been having some very good results using slack action coupling using
technic 1 x x plates which are used in car axles. By using multiples of them,
you can join the cars so close together that they actually touch- on display at
least. then when running the train, they just loosen up due to the motor pull,
and crumple when you slow down. I’d rather not post pics of this publicly since
the MOC I’ve used them on isn’t complete, but if you (or anyone) would like to
see pics of this to try it on your own, mail me, and I’ll take some.

I can wait for you to post them publicly. I look forward (...) (20 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
