  Too much work (still pre-IPO, but still hanging on after 5 years!), but I
finally made some time to build more improvements on my Spine Car.

  I added some beds for the SuperTrain 2001 show, but I finally made some
time to work on much-needed (and long thought about) modifications to the
car bodies and trucks. I admit that I was spurred to work on this by Steve
Chappel, who found himself inspired to try his own design, after playing
host to my cars. :-)

  I've managed to update my Spine Car page with some in-progress images, as
well as a book reference for Intermodal Freight modeling. If you're
interested, please check my page.

  Back to work...more LEGO later.
