Jordan,
The trucks are Ross Neal's design. Making the outside pieces white made them
look exactly like the pictures of the real one. The cascaded articulation is the
same as the real one. My earlier schnabel car was backwards. All of my diesel
locos have two train motors in them and should be able to pull it as it moves
very easily. It almost rolled off the table.
Thanks,
Bruce
