Hello all, This is my first attempt to create a Dutch train called DDM (=DoubleDeckerMaterial). In real the train has a engine part and passengerwagons or a seperate loc (17/18xx) with the passengerwagons. In these pictures I put all in! The trains are designed using parts that are (easily) available, this was my goal. If I would like them to be realistic as possible I needed so many rare parts in different colors, it wasn't possible. ( I want to build them for real too!). A special thanks to James Mathis for his ldraw file of the 17xx. Seeing his file, I'm was very impressed with his building techniek and ldraw skills, I HAVE MUCH TO LEARN. THANKS JAMES. ***** update 11 may 2003 ****** Pictures of the real thing are up ! Still waiting for some parts but I'm almost finished. Thanks to Carol of Amazing Bricks ( @BL) (AGAIN!!) for the parts and the extra service she provided. Thanks to James, not only for the ldraw file of the 17xx but for the basic design of the traincars too. I saw a picture of one he builded and expanded the design from there! Any suggestion, comments, etc, Mail me at Webmaster@pave.demon.nl or post in lugnet.trains. Paul
