Hmmm, the second link shows James' building instructions, but I did find
yours on Brickshelf at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=14167

They look good, the parts subsitution works well.

Yes, if you follow the second link. That link shows the container cars I
built using James Mathis instructions. So I am sorry if that was unclear the

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

the original plans that James had made.

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

Enjoy
