(...) Tim, Here is an idea I just put together. It uses many of the 1x2-2x2 Brackets. (URL) guess the only downside is that you have studs running the length of the train. Then again it does give it a nice textured look. (URL) (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hi David, I've actually tried something similar to that before but didn't like the studs. The other problem with it is that it may not work since real studs are a little taller than half a plate. The best I've come up with so far is something (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains)

PS. And we're both ignoring the IR battery box in the centre which also has to be worked around. (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains)

A way to overcome the problem of the offset studs on top of the brackets would be placing a (URL) Slope 65 2 x 2 x 2 Smooth without Bottom Tube> over each of them (vertical face outwards) With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen. (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I'm ignoring the IR bulge, as well. But, here is another try at it: (URL) fence method probably has interference with the fact that a stud height would interfer-- it doesn't in CAD, but we remember that studs are greater than 1/2 plate thick, (...) (18 years ago, 28-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) How far does the IR sensor bulge stick out? Does the bulge make the baseplate exactly 7-wide? later, James Mathis (18 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I've got no idea to be honest. I assume we'd have to leave a gap but I meant more about working around the 4x10x3 battery box in the middle rather than the sensor (bad explanation I know). Tim (18 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Oh, right. Second read I realized what you meant. Here is a crude 7-wide shell built on a 6x28 train baseplate. It uses the 1x2 Technic bricks with 2-holes, the Technic Axle with stud at one end, and Technic Bushings to locate the SNOT 2x2 (...) (18 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains)
