scott Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 For whatever reason, I just like the look of some of the older EMUs that are more rounded, sort of aircraft-like.

scott Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 And it's here now, but I haven't had time to test it yet. I'm going to have to make some replacement "couplers" for it--just straight links to holes in the trucks. I could probably do it with cut paperclips.... Link to comment
