About the MOC
Since the LEGO motor’s wheels are set so closely together, I wasn’t able to
portray it as accurately as I wanted, and so I fudged the trucks to give the
appearance of a wider wheel base as much as I dared, and decided to make the
MOC more of a toyish version of the prototype. I used that wonderful new
slope element in dark red (Hmmm, dark red:-d) for the roof, and I got quite
snotty for the front, actually turning my tile-posts backwards(never did
that before). Ross added the yellow straw posts for me.
All in all, I’m happy with the result. Enjoy.

Hi John,
Very neat little trolley design. I really like your use of the new racer hubs
(or whatever they’re called) in the faked bogies. You need to fiddle your
lighting for these shots though, all that lovely dark red (I am so jealous of
your 1x3 curve collection) looks ordinary red.

| Since the TCLTC will only be able to bring half of their train layout to the ILTCO Philadelphia show this summer, we decided to turn our mainlines into ping-ponging trolley lines. Yeah, we already have a few trolleys we can run: (2 URLs) But that (...) (19 years ago, 13-Apr-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.trains, lugnet.build.schleim, FTX) !
