Hello all.

I just wanted to share with you the start of my newest project. It will be a
dock sceen to go with my Maersk ship. I just built 4 container cars and a Union
Pacific engine. The cars are actually about 2 and half studs wide. The
Containers fit nicely into the cars and give a convicing look. I will be making
about 10 total cars, and maybe a switcher.

I would love any imput or ideas you might have.

Thanks for looking

Excellent! I love it. I just wish there was a way to get an N gauge motor into
that style of locomotive. But the N gauge notors are 2 wide throughout :(

I am glad you like it. I just finished building a sixth car. I will make the
cars all yellow, I just have to buy some more parts. I also made a red container
car as red and yellow are the more popular colors for these cars. I am trying to
figure out how to attact the crane. I want to have some playability, but then
again if I just get the look I will be happy with it.

Question for anyone else that has done 2-wides. What did you use for track
(using LEGO eliments)?

Thanks again.

(...) 12v conductor rails look pretty nice. I've also seen grill tiles laid side by side. Frank (19 years ago, 23-Feb-05, to lugnet.trains)
