Also I
wanted to know if you have any more detailed images of the container cars
that your engine is pulling? I'm working on a design myself and wanted to
get a closer look at yours.

I'll work on posting some instructions.  I'll post again when they are up on
BrickShelf.  It's a pretty simple design; not too sure how realistic it is.
I modelled these container cars just to have something half-way relevant
behind the freight engines.

Here are some instructions for the container cars:

Please be aware of the following:
1) I have built only two cars of the many that are shown as renderings
2) The two cars that I built do not have the same colors as shown in the
renderings.  I don't have so many parts in appropriate colors.
3) The instructions for the "end wheels" got messed up.  I changed the
instructions in MLCad, but it looks as if an older version with incorrect
parts introduction got called by the "L3P" run to generate the POV file.
Sorry. But, I think the construction is still understood.
4) I haven't fully tested the articulation.

I don't claim these cars to be of any "real" likeness to their real-life
versions.

later,
James Mathis

(...) I definitely gathered inspiration from seeing other folks' container cars. In particular, Jake McKee showed me some design construction concepts. I've definitely drawn from several sources on this project. "Building together, building better" (...) (23 years ago, 13-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
