I have been studying this design and appreciate the latest detail pics. This is
truly an example of LEGO elegance; functionality and simplicity at it's finest.
Thanks for sharing and also these images are superb!
I was wondering what kind of horizontal latitude your get from your rubber bands
when traversing uneven track conditions?
As Didier mentioned I had organized a survey of close coupling a couple years
ago and delivered it a BricksWest (if memory serves). And as always <ILTCO hat
on> I think that this is such a great example of close coupling I would invite
you to submit a short paper to the ILTCO library*. Not much more then the text
included in your lugnet posts and several embedded images would be great! If you
are interested just send me an email.</ILTCO hat on>
* ILTCO is always looking for articles/papers for the Library. Even short 2 or 3
page papers are welcome. I think a resource like this can benefit the hobby
greatly but we need these great ideas documented and retrievable!
