Hi Mathew,
It took me a while scrutinizing your pictures to finally figure out how you made
the vertical supports for the side railings on your engine--it's brilliant! I
hope you don't mind if I steel your design. Since my original post here, I've
almost completed my SF Engine with the Warbonnet color scheme, now all I have to
do is get a bunch of yellow hands to complete the railings. Anyway, I was going
to go with the robot arm style, but they don't come in yellow, and it was
bugging me to have to use another color, also, that design is not as stable as
what you did.
Thanks!
Mark
