I never thought I'd have to ask this question, but hey details are details,
right?
Is it common for there to be very little between the bogies underneath a
passenger wagon? I've been studying the Lionel toy version of the Polar
Express, and thats they way they modeled it - mostly just the bogies. They do
have a built in step system at each door, and I am most baffled as to how to do
that (currently I'm opting for skipping it).
So would anyone be so kind as to describe or give LEGO examples of what a
typical undercarriage of a (steam era) passenger car looks like? Has anyone
attempted the built-in stairs that descend below the train base?

| Hey all, Before I begin, let me apologize for not being 'with it' as far as the train lingo goes. I'm just a novice, so please be kind. Before I was an AFOL, I was a model train fan, and to tell the truth I have a sizable collection in storage (HO (...) (19 years ago, 13-Mar-06, to lugnet.trains)
