I'm glad you had fun with the hoppers I sold you... but your bigger
hoppers STILL look euro. Need I say more? :-)

On to happier topics. Nice Roadrailers. I'm wondering why you didn't use
the propellor plates (2x2 plate with gray style technic pin) for your
swivels instead of turntables... those turntables just don't adhere to
anything. Easy to mount to trailer bottoms yes, but no
stick-to-it-ivness.

Overall they look just grand, though.

Coupling this with the other thread, 6 wide containers are looking
better and better... but double stack 6 wide containers that are
correctly H-W proportioned are going to be WAY too tall to survive any
kind of speed in curves with the tiny radius curves we're stuck with
(and a curve/straight/curve still gives just as much jerk). Sigh.

(...) I know, I know. Maybe you will move up production on my lar hopper then. :) (...) I would have prefered the 2x2 plate with pin but then I would have needed about thirty of them and I only have about six total and I used those for trailer (...) (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

When you have four copies of the Blue Hopper #4536, what do you build? Why two blue hoppers, of course. (URL) included are pictures of my attempts at RoadRailers, see the bottom of the above page. -- Paul (URL) (25 years ago, 14-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
