MU folding platforms
The two GNs are the first of my locos equipped with really functioning folding platforms.
I'd made a first approach using minifig axes as platforms on my A&R GP38, but they were way too small. It was Tim's idea to use 2x2 flags instead, and here we go.
The whole thing works pretty well - neither did the minifig "me" fall off during a test run, nor did the platforms jam. The handrails rotate down when not in MU mode. Might try another solution based on chains, though.
