| (...) Yea, with a wide enough area, one could use the 2x2/2x2 brackets. It would need a depth of 4 for each side though (meaning a container at least 8 wide). There might also be ways to use the 1x1 brick with studs on all 4 sides. Unfortuantely, to (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

With some creative engineering, you should probably be able to fit create just a 2x2 area, but you might have to sacrifice some interior space... --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com ---...---oooo-----(_...o---...--- WWW: (URL) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

| Looks a lot like the real metroliner, although the loco looks a little uhh... fast for this train. (I'm looking at a pic in the book "Supertrains", which is a great book for pics of fast trains) Alan Random set: <set:6373> (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| That's the one. Here's my version: (URL) 6 wide and uses no train windows (except for the doors). I liked that currogated brick design so much I had to try it out. I used the pictures of the o gauge metroliner at the train show for the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Oh man, why didn't TLG do all their containers the same as 1651?? The Ccolor Line and Maersk newer promo sets use 4x12 containers. They're plug compatible, at least sort of. I use a 2x2 tile every 4 studs so a 4x8 has 2 and a 4x12 has 3. Most of the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
