Right, I just popped the wheelsets out of the frames. I was referring
that modeling two sets of rails in order to stagger the wheelsets would
be difficult to model in a six wide car since there has to be four studs
between the rails. Now, that could be done in an eight wide car, but
I'm not sure you were advocating that :) This model did actually start
out as an eight wide experiment but I could get the proportions right,
maybe next time.

This special car was going to be my next project.
