Thanks for you kind words about my models. I am glad you like them. The
scale (6-stud width) make them suitable for flatcar loads as you suggest.
I understand that this type of models will not be included in the Official
Lego assortment but maybe my next model can be. It is my version of the
Willys jeep an will be presented next week on Brickshelf (if Dan Giselsson
is willing to take new photos).
