Thanks Dan,
I shortened the chassis using a razor saw. I basically cut the excess from the middle as to preserve the small tapped holes for the trucks. I reconnected the base using thin styrene and CA. In the end, I needed to bond the chassis to the shell as I couldn't easily find a way to attach them together... as well, the weight took up all available space that might allow for screws. _________________ Michael

Interesting. I've fiddled with some ideas of how to lengthen the cars as well. I assume the blue cars are your next project? Are you going to lengthen them?
I'd suggest epoxy and styrene... _________________ Regards,

Yup - blue cars are in the works. Have to do some measuring... We'll see. _________________ Michael

How's your train coming? That diesel is awesome. Don't worry about getting it perfect; your work is what makes it yours!
I just got my T-gauge set today from Japan and I'm really pleased. Keep inspiring us. |
