I know the meaning a bit differently as I heard (though not quite accurately) of the IBM story:

Where did you find this out?

Danpmeyer is still around he has been helping me out with the CP coal gondolas.

Even if making these cars articulated is too much of a problem theres always a stand alone option. Though the prototype was complete garbage and having a few of these on my HO layout showed me the exact same headaches real railroads had with them, there is the Front Runner.

2 axle spine car. Hates everything. Look at it wrong and it derails.

Yeah doesnt sound like a good idea now that I bring it up lol.

Just to let everyone know, I am still around. And I have been active building cars in Blender. I have spines, the AutoMax cars, hot metal slabs, a corn syrup tanker and I am putting the finishing touches on a skeleton 65' log car that somebody was looking for. Oh yeah, and a bay window caboose. My biggest problem is that I don't have a lot of time for painting and am still trying to figure out all the shaders. Some of them are just not working the way I need them too. Plus, since there is really tight security where I work, I can't do any of the blueprint work on my PC there during lunch, just what I can run off a jump drive, right now Blender and Gimp. And I just started playing with LOD's, since I saw some of the stuff VRC is doing and instantly got jealous...such detail!

Anyway, just thought you'd like to know.

No promises that anything will come of this as i have very little spare time these days.
I've still got an awful lot left to build on it but here's my TTOX FrontRunner
