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...)

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 more bricks than the shorter, articulated ends, so bricks should be left
over.

| (...) Once more, slowly. I was talking about a 5 unit car. I agree that a 3 unit should work from 2 copies. But a 5 unit MAY or MAY NOT be buildable from 3 copies. It requires 4 center bogies, and 4 pairs of pivot connections. In 3 copies, you get 3 (...) (20 years ago, 3-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
