There is one thing I’d like to say, and this isn’t to you specifically, but it is an appear to Ben himself. I really don’t like the choice of drive rods we have. They stick out like a sore thumb, and they detract from an otherwise smart MOC. But what other options are there? None, really, and so I appeal to Ben:

Please, cast us some driver rods to go along with the wheels, Ben!!!! They would add SO much! </begging>

Gee John, Your not asking for much. :)

More prototypical drive rods would certainly be welcome. They would need to be pretty versatile to cover a wide range of wheel arrangements. So far I’ve built an 0-6-0T, a 4-4-2, a 4-6-2 and a 2-10-0 as well as an 0-4-0 and a 2-8-8-2 I’m currently working on. Coming up with something that would work well for all those would be quite a challenge.
