Hi Jeff,
Critique to follow, don't mean to be too negitive :)
I just looked at your car and wondered why 7 wide? I don't see how the 7th
stud did anything for you on this design, the foot print is still 4 wide
between the 1x2 tiles with-rod-on-top. Could this just as easily been built
on a 6 wide? BTW I'm not saying that 7 wide is a bad idea.
Also I can't tell the bay length relative to the container but it seems that
the 1x2 plate with the slide slot you have placed over the top of the 1x2
tiles with-rod-on-top on the ends of the bay might catch the lip of the
plate on the bottom of the containers.
Hope this makes sense.

| (...) Sorry for the slpw reply, I reorganized my Brickshelf folder, and updated the Container car. My original reason for going 7 wide was so that I could still build some walls along the side of the wagon. See my second version here: (URL) first (...) (22 years ago, 28-Oct-02, to lugnet.trains)
