The idea has possibilities, as all of my box car sliding doors are gray:-p (except a red one borrowed from the 7722) Yo, Tom- when you do get around to building freight, why not try living dangerously and spend some time on the 8 wide side. As Cat (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Oops, that's what I get for posting in a bit of a rush... Mookie and others identified the correct door. 6769 Fort Legoredo has a couple in black. Now if only I could find more sets with the rails (I used the 4 8 long rails from my two copies (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

That's how I was going to use the doors in the first place but then decided to try them in the rails. I've got to take some time to build some freight cars. Lately I've been busy building scenery and a couple of new diesels, but first I need to (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

I have a few of those doors on boxcars, but not used in the sliding capacity. Used as regular doors, they for me make good reefer doors. --John (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

It's the black door that comes in the Bandit's Secert Hideout (URL) sure it comes in some other sets but that's the first one I thought of. It also comes in pink in a paradisa set Cabana Beach (URL) I think a blue one in the Guarded Inn. What other (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

I built a box car awhile back using those doors, never scanned the car although. I don't think I still have it together. :-( I'm sure I wasn't the first, but when I showed another PNLTC member he hadn't seen that door used that way before. There are (...) (25 years ago, 10-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
