Wow! I like these a LOT! I've seen some modified cars around the SF
Bay Area that have the raised clamping bit on the ends. While they
don't have the angled sidewall (you used low-slope roof bricks
for that part), I really like the look, and it puts the clamps at the
correct height.
The design also makes good use of the shared truck between
car bodies. But, why do you extend the weight towards the coupler
on the end-trucks? I found that a center-of-the-truck mount seems
to work better for mine.
Nice job Jacob! :-)
