We both will be interested in hearing about your mods to the frontend.

I have now uploaded an LDraw file and rendered image of the mods I made to
strengthen the nose/coupler section:

The 1x4 technic brick with 1/2 pins locate in the tubes of the 2x4 green slope
above, which strengthens the structure without sacrificing too much ease of
separation. The internal support is also overkill but it serves its purpose of
resisting the lateral forces when pushing on the nose/coupler component.

| Martin, Very nice! I since changed the coloring on mine by adding a teal stripe giving it a more Coaster specific color scheme (I'll try to post some pics). My friend and SPLTC cohort Paul Thomas ((URL) built a set using Metrolink colors last year (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
