    The spine car units are looking great. Just to let you know Alan I'm still having fun [​IMG]! Have not had that much time to be in the shop, but I am far enough along on the kit that I setup all the units for trailers. Now have 5 MTL BN trailers to use when I finish. Do enjoy the assembly and am now in the process of looking for a new compressor for the airbrush.

    P.S. I do feel there is a least another spine car set and some of those new flat cars in my future [​IMG].

    Alan,
    I have to say those pictures are superb. Does jim have a website? BTW what manufacturers are there for roadrailers to go on your spine cars?

    Paul, I already ICQ'd you the url of Jim's photo page, but post it here in case any others would like to see more. I am sure he has another site with a description of his large layout. Will ask him.

    My spine cars will carry any make of trailers, as far as I am aware [​IMG]

    Well guys,Alan will get at least one more order from me.It seems while rearanging things in the trainroom I unknowingly knocked one of the cars on the floor(The model railroad gods did give me a slight break though)At least it was the one without the MT trucks installed.The car is now total JUNK!!

    Oh well [​IMG] I'm still havin'FUN!! [​IMG]

    How well do Alans spine cars really perform. i have hacked some secret test pictures and found the real story. It seems some very serious derailments have occurred causing injury to operators. If you think i am joking have a look at this picture, UP claim the derailment cost well millions hehehehe

    It looks like a UP crew is going to have someone say to them, "U.P. into this cup, please!" [​IMG] Defineatly "OPERATOR ERROR!" at work here.

    Thanks, Alan. It was a quick job... no more than 30 mins for the cut, resize and paste, then a little touch-up... [​IMG]
    Glad both you and your wife liked it.

    Gary.
