Hi again Vic <br /> <br />And thanks again for your responce. Your replies certainly have given med food for thought. <br /> <br />One thing is modelling in the garden with out-of-the-box models, and another is building rolling stock as close to scale and yesterdays pratices as possible. I see now more than ever that is is a case of compromise. <br /> <br />Due to your replies, I've decided to set the following standards for the rolling stock to be used on the coming Silent Lake Rail Road: <br /> <br />- max. car length 20' <br />- trucks as close to car ends as possible <br />- loops between pins on couplers to be extended <br /> <br />The flatcar that I'de almost finished is now scrapped, and I'm about to commence the building of a new flatcar to the above standards. <br /> <br />I think that your tips have saved med a lot of annoyances and I look forward to keeping you udated on progress. <br /> <br />Peter
