Rarely do I post comments, good or bad, about people’s MOCs, but this is a
really great design. However, after working for the RR and climbing up and
down on this type of car for years I have to notice that I didn’t see any
handbrake wheels on it. Usually these 5 pack intermodal cars have a handbrake
wheel on each end, sometimes mounted on top of the deck, other times on the
side reachable from ground level. Not sure where the brakewheels were mounted
on the prototype for this car though.

No, you are absolutely correct-- I forgot to put them on! I had taken pictures
of the car and after posting them on Brickshelf, I noticed that 1 ladder was
missing-- so I reshot them. Then I noticed the handbrakes... I didn’t have
the heart to re-reshoot:-/
But I think you will really like my Husky Stack car, Jeff (It is completely
finished). Although I haven’t decaled it yet, it looks pretty cool-- even
better than the Maxi-Stack III. Now I must get those pics taken tomorrow:-)
Thanks for the compliments!

Minor nit-pick I know, but it’s not really all that noticable unless one is
actually looking for it since the rest of the design with the air brake
resoviors, top decking, and cross bracing is so well done.
