Nice, I have been considering the use of the new 1x3 curved slopes for the
tumblehome of coaches too but as usual I am far too slow!The difference with
my idea was that the whole side would slope in slightly towards the top, how

Where were you in jlug chat when I needed you. I wanted to know the class number
so I could find more pics. Anyway, this one is a MAGIC tender and thus doesn’t
have to be perfectly prototypical... :P
