Huh, for a second there I thought you were talking about DART LRV's...I was about to get interested.

It says the shell fits a ATLAS 8-40.I want to know 8-40 what. ATLAS makes both the 4 and 6 axle versions but I don't know what the LRV uses 4 or 6 axles.

I don't know about the LRV, the LRC is a four axle model.

I too was confused, because Kato already makes LRVs (Portram, articulated, with three 2-axle trucks).

Um...Hello QWERTY detectives... the V and C are right next to each other...  It's a spelling error, not rocket science.

Yet it is funny that both versions of the acronym are valid, but for totally different rail vehicle.

That loco shell looks awfully long for a 8-40B chassis.I wonder what kind of mods he is talking about.

These are 'tiny' locos compared to the big diesels out there, the 8-40B drive should fit just fine.

I'm sure what Pud meant to say was that he's busy working on an Ontario only CPR D10 model  :trollface:
