This car is actully prototypical, the car would normally be used for
pulpwood, the logs being short, and stacked sideways. They'll sometimes
leave the chain out here stateside... But one thing i have to say, the ends
are backwards. The caboose on the other hand is only a great sorce for 1x1
handle bricks for my fire engines. With that said, i see Stephen's
frustration, when people ask if it is true it bothers me too, but the hacks
at Ben's april fool's joke are cheep. Anyways, I model 8-wide, so the new
trains are of no real use (but i'm getting a Metroliner...).
