This is fantastic, James:-) Funny about the purple-- my initial impulse was

Well, I guess I couldn’t resist the Barney Urge-- guess that’s because I have a
7 week old baby in the house ;-)

Ross and my version is 99% complete-- we are just waiting on a few parts,
maybe I can post a few teasers pics. Basically, it’s all white; I was
planning on printing all of the LTC logos attending the NMRA show in Cincy on
the sides. To make room for them, I placed the train rail bar plates
directly under the windows. I also, ahem, took the liberty of extending
the length of the trolley by 1 window (4 studs). I wanted more distance
between the trucks, and it also gave me more logo space per side. Sorry for
messing with the design so blatantly:-/

I was just thinking about lengthening this trolley by 4 studs, as well.
The v7 trolley now uses the standard black 6x24 train baseplate from all the
Build Your Train sets that we all must have stock-piled ;-) The roof windows
get a little assymmetric at first-go, but we’ll see.
As I rendered all the club logos individually, I thought that one big bill-board
with all the club logos would be nice.
v7 trolley does have a headlamp built-in. I don’t know if the 2x2 electric
connector brick will fit on the 9v motor beneath the 6x24 standard train
baseplate or not-- another reason to go to the 6x28 train baseplate. I do like
built-up bases from plates and technic plates, but I was trying to cut the
piece-count and use a part that may be more common that Technic plates. ??
John and Ross, you guys, and everyone else, please, please, feel free to mess
with the design as blatantly as you wish!
later,
James Mathis
