Hi Troy, <br /> <br />The top looks great. I never thought of soaking balsa wood in water so you can bend it. <br />What thickness is the balsa wood, and how long do you have to leave it in the water before you can start bending it? <br /> <br />I have a double decker tram trailer plan at home, but couldn't work out how I was going to bend the ends, so I've never started it. I just stick to the railway wagons that are easier shapes. <br /> <br />Also what are you going to use for the power bogies? <br />My bigest fear when building something is that I'm going to have to half wreck the top to get the wheels on, so I always start with the bottom half. Once I have the chassis running right, then I build the top. I've never seen the top done first. <br /> <br />Glen Anthony. <br />
