              Agreed. You pretty much own the trains.

                          Very nice. I'm actually building a low-poly train for a BF1942 Mod (Global Front). Looking at your pics have helped me to understand how trains work and so how to construct it. Thanks

                          Some people are lovers, some are fighters, if you love to fight, fight for love!
