I’ve finished my first take on Heavyweight passenger car designs in LDD and
have made gratuitous use of the dark red bricks. I’ve made a set of five
different cars. These cars were common on American railroads, ca 1920.
Although most commonly painted Pullman green, several railroads chose Tuscan
red instead -as modeled (e.g., Soo, PRR).

Very nice indeed

I have no idea if I’m the first person to come up with the trick to float the
middle axle with the door rails, but it was new to me when inspiration struck
and is possibly the most innovative bit of the whole design.

I like this, I have some floated on a tile and plate assembly shown in
BrickJournal, but they fall off too regularly, I think I will be retrofitting
these to see how they go.
Play Well
