[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Jetrock Hmm...wouldn't a rubber band on the axle of a boxcar truck yank the truck up against the bottom of the boxcar--unless it was screwed in so tightly it couldn't turn? [/quote] The rubber bands would not be that tight, and that's why I mentioned using two, one for each axle. Athearn used this system on their RDCs, Hustler, older F-7s, GP-9's and I think on one steam engine. Thier rotary snow plow has the rotary blade turned by rubber bands on the front truck. I've used regular rubber bands on my models, the ones that come from stationery stores. Bob Boudreau
