Like Chris, I too noticed that cool hopper while admiring the lovely
SNOT-li-ness of your concertina wagon. (btw, what is a concertina wagon?)
Tim, I've been meaning to ask you, since I've noticed it before, how do you do
your trucks with the standard wheel/axle but not the housing of the official
wheelsets? Is it all standard parts? Does it run well? It looks much more
prototypical for a lot of North American rolling stock to do it as you've done
(as I'm sure is the reason you do it).
Thanks
-Paul
