how accurate it is, but I might have to borrow your design to make one for

Feel free! Please let me know if you have any suggestions. It is somewhat
accurate depending on which real life prototype you look at. Rather than
model a prototype down to the T, I choose the design elements I really liked
from several and built on big engine. This is 6th (at least) version I have
done of this engine and really like it.

Gondola - I like the use of the 1x4 slotted bricks for detail, neat idea.

Thanks! I like this car because it shows how realistic you can make
something look with just a few parts, and a simple design.

Box Car - Coool design, I have seen a number of people use that technic for the
roof, and I really dig it.  The only bummer is that we can't get our hands on
those cargo doors easily anymore.

Yeah, I looked all over when I built this about 6-8 months ago for other
people's boxcar designs. I wanted to create something new and unseen before.
When I didn't find anything, I assumed this was new. Until about two months
ago, I started noticing several people posting images to Brickshelf that
used this roof design. Teaches me to be slow in posting! :)

Thanks for the comments. Love to see pictures of you with your version of
the design if you make one! Go Photo-ware!
