Here is an old fashion
trolley.
My effort toward this trolley began from inspiration from the Greater Portland
LEGO Railroaders. If it were not for the GPLR, I would probably never have
generated this design. Working on this trolley reminded me just how far we as
LEGO Train Fans have come. Not just in model-making, but in public displays of
our craft. I am constantly in awe of the latest greatest LEGO train club
displays. You surround beautiful train models with fantastic structures, road
vehicles, and scenery which raise every single creation to more than it would be
by itself, alone on a shelf.
I have wondered for several months what should become of this trolley design.
And, while it may not be perfect, nor may it be the best trolly out there, I
humbly present the trolley design with dedication to all of the LEGO Train
Clubs, for without your public pressence, I dare say the LEGO train hobby would
not be what it has become today. I wish you all wonderful and great train show
events in your future. Thank you. Seeing your show-pics is truly an
inspiration to me.
Regarding this trolley design, I hope to have hi-rez PNG images and a PDF file
available for download within a week or so. I’m still working on the design of
the back cover. You will be welcome to print it, store it, burn it, crash it,
modify it...whatever you want to do with this trolley design is fine with me.
later,
James Mathis

You mention that there is no room for a driver, I reckon if you replace the 1x4 clack tile in step 8 of (URL) 16> with a plate you could attach the top half for a fig to it (they might have to be bald tho'!)
