<snip> (...) Yeah I'll be starting soon, I like that 70 stud Idea, and the container cars are close to the length of a SD40-2. The well is 48' on most mordern well cars (In the USA). I figure 12-14 studs for a 20' container. Josh (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)

Hi James Very nice work. I like 8 wides of modern trains a lot. Your creation will inspire me to try to model the Swedish X2000. Is it possible that you will post the DAT.file? Regards Mattias (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.trains)
