I assume you are referring to the problem of the gap between the loco and
the car behind it. Using a spring mechanism between the two is the way to
solve this - they pull together on a straightaway but can separate when
going around curves. People have used both rubber bands and Technic shock
absorbers for this. Perhaps others can provide links to web sites that show
this technique; I don't remember URLs offhand.
It's a very nice-looking model, gap notwithstanding!
