These are beautifully-made models, as the photos will attest to, with great lettering and paint. The wheels are moveable along a track, but interestingly enough, there is an etched metal detail part that is ACC'ed to the wheel group that's meant to represent the prototype bar that disengages the wheels to be moved under the trailer. On the model, it doesn't move, so if you want to move the wheels, you need to force the metal bar over the ribbed underframe. Odd, but it works! Anyway, any EL modeler of the late 60s/1970s needs several of these - they fill a long-standing void in the HO scale market! - Paul The Erie Lackawanna Mailing List Sponsored by the ELH&TS http://www.elhts.org ------------------------------
