(...) I, too, have been working on a hopper (90% completed) that doesn't dump out the bottom (neither does the proto) When I finish I'll post some pics-- I've got *lots* to show and tell:-) -John (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I have the shell of my hopper done (6wide) but currently I don't have the bottom dumping working the way I want it to. What I'm hoping to get working is a lever or push rod that can be activated by an automated device (maybe a RCX device (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Nice cars Chris. The Covered Hopper is very nice. The caboose looks good with the curved handrails now. The gondola with 'junk' is nice too. "Christopher Tracey" <ctracey@envirolink.org> wrote in message news:3A4B7E3A.C4C855...ink.org... (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Thanks Tom. Did you see the detail picture of the truck? I took your suggestions and beefed them up a bit. My next soon to be published creation is especially for you- turnabout is fair play right? :) -chris (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Chris, Wow, looks great. I really like the caboose. I hate cutting tubing, but the curved railings look so good that I might have to cut some tubing for my caboose. Did you use stiff (pod racer) tubing or flexible tubing? Also, I like the steps. Is (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Chris, (...) Thanks! I used the stiff tubing (from the technic sub I think) for the railings. I was able to get two railings from one whole piece so I wasn't wasting any tubing. There is a probhlem with the tubing tear the part of the endwall off (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
