I think what Matthew was asking was, is it possible to buy multiple sets and
chain them together, or aren’t there enough parts to make more mid-cars and
mid-bogies?

It seems to me that 2 sets would allow one to build one 3 well car and 1
single well car, and that 3 sets would allow you to build one 5 well car and
1 single well car (in both cases with parts left over).

Wheels wise, sure. But unless we know how the pivots are designed, maybe not.
(for example if I had kitted out my articulated design and made it a 2 unit car,
you wouldn’t have enough parts with 3 copies to make a 5 unit car as you’d only
have gotten 3 center pivot parts sets, the center pivot brackets are different
technic parts than the end pivot brackets...)
Now, if that’s the case with THIS design (don’t have a copy of Jake’s book handy
here in Chicago) then it would be NICE if they included the extra center pivot
parts you needed...
but only the designers and the people they told, know for sure. We can guess
though, which is fun.

| (...) Well, lessee. Each set comes with 1 pivot truck and 2 end trucks. With 2 sets, we get 2 pivots and 4 end trucks. A 3 well requires 2 pivots and 2 end trucks, and the single requires 2 end trucks. That seems to work for me. The ends require (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
