A while back I had some fun building some 4 wide train cars which were
amazingly similar to HO scale in model railroading.  Well, my daughter
and son (12 & 10) thought it would be fun to build some *2* wide train
cars, and so that is what they did.  I bought them an N scale boxcar to
look at, and they were off to the races.  Here are some pics of their
work, along with a few of the N scale boxcar itself.  Of course I am
very proud of them (my kids and their MOCs:-)

These are AMAZINGLY cute. Bravo. Great stuff within the size limitations
imposed and some very clever uses of bricks in non conventional ways. I
especially enjoy the use of the 1x1 rounds for wheels.

If there is anyone who has any doubt about who is the master of building
at "any" scale, these should remove it.

You've GOT to figure out how to turn these into a park ride or some sort of
load on a flatbed truck or something so they can be seen on the new and
improved GMLTC layout.

Very nice work, Neal family.
