I imagine it might fit somehow, but I couldn't think what the thing would be -
some kind of huge covered freight car? My solution looks like an ordinary box
car. The other problem is how do you make the sides? Trains are 6 studs wide
and mosts ways of building train cars mean that the cavity inside is only 4
studs, that isn't enough room for an RCX. I use two 14x6 plates as the sides
which nicely fit where the sliding doors were and gives me more than 4 studs
worth of space inside. I'm not sure how you could translate this idea to the
4559 low-loader plates without it looking rather odd.
