I really like these Paul. My favourite is the red cab unit. I love the way

the socket part as the lamp. With the steam engine I like the 4x4 space radar
dish in front with all those greeblies on it- very realistic-looking. The car
is neat too- but I still haven’t seen one which has a C-C wheel config. Did
you base it off of anything specific? I look forward to more like that cab

The C-C (1) wheel configuration was certainly used on some coaches in the UK,
especially restaurant cars as they were heavier. The ones that spring to mind
are the West Coast Joint stock
but there are others. I expect that some older ‘heavyweight’ stock in the US
similarly had six wheeled bogies.

(1) Not sure that C-C is the correct designation for unpowered bogies
