Nice; reminds me of our own new light rail, the

DART built by Bombardier, and if so,
shouldn’t you have modeled it with
articulation?

The Hiawatha set looks very nice!
Here’s a
picture
of the DART. At first glance I think they are not the same set.
And a gallery of pics.
I think there may be a few different DART sets. One looks to have 3 cars: Two
cab cars with a shorter unit in-between. Another with two cab cars
back-to-back. I think I do see that I made an error in the wheel sets: shared
bogies between adjacent cars. Back when I first worked on the DART MOC I either
didn’t notice this or hadn’t found a good picture from the side. Still, even
today, all the pics I’ve found are 3/4 views-- nothing straight side-on, which
always makes completeness difficult with interpolation of the missing
viewpoints. Here’s the best
side-view I found so far of a DART set-- wish I’d found this pic earlier!
Definately articulated with shared bogies with the pantograph on the center
unit.
later,
James Mathis
