Now let me start off by saying that this is not my design. I had first seen
this design done by James Mathis. He had them being pulled (virtualy) by his
new Santa Fe deisel freight engine.

So I looked through his pictures and found he has instructions for the
double stacks.

But when I got started on building the cars. I found that some of the parts
needed I just didnt have. Or I didnt have them in the same color. So I had
to make some alterations to them. But they still turned out very simulare to
the original plans that James had made.

Also with the containers they are just standard LEGO town size containers.

Enjoy
Dave
