I agree the black is hard to photograph :(
With the Waffle side car, I was going for an excess height highcube look
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=507122427 .
It's supposed to be taller tan a regular box car, but did I go too tall?
The funny blue may be due to my cheap camera :(
I'm hoping to make instructions for the 44 tonner soon, to show the details of the pivoting
wheelsets!
And yes!!! Slugs are very odd:
