Hi Chris,
Thanks for the quick picture. I was trying to figure out some way I could
recreate that scene in LDraw to do a virtual comparison. You saved me a lot of
trouble. While your picture does show that the boxcar is a bit out of scale
with the BNSF, it also shows how great a brick-built version of the boxcar
looks. You are tempting me to the dark side... The thing is everything I have
already is in 6-wide and I don't have room in my house for track layouts with
the curve-straight-curve arrangement used by 8-widers.
Hmmmm... maybe your design could be converted to 6-wide... :-)
Thanks again,
-Paul
