(...) I may end up doing that, though I would like for the containers to be able to be stacked beside each other.

(...) Wrong! :) :) Check this out. I just whipped this up as a solution to your problem. As far as I can tell, it matches all criteria mechanically.

Thanks for the comments... The whole structure will be underground(as a subway should be), there will be a wall that blocks the outside structure from view. I designed the fin-like structure on the outside to channel light(1) into the actual station (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

This is really cool. I love the arching roof structure. Captures the style very nicely. I look forward to seeing further construction. later, James Mathis (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

This interior rocks. Looks kind of dodgy from the outside but what the heck. Looks like it will consume massive quantities of parts (click hinges??), though, and if you do the arch all the way around, not be very visible. Perhaps only 1/2 and (...)

IRL name and logo plates are often welded onto the rib bulges so "appear" to stick out. However they don't actually do so due to clearance reasons.

I made some 6 wide trailers way back when I was first playing with train LEGO. But since then I have been mostly 4 wide. Not because it's right. It isn't. IRL trailers and boxcars are almost exactly the same width, (10' 6" I think) and 6 wide (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
