I have a request though, can we have a nice boxcar? Different colors? My
minifig passengers are complaining about all the dry goods being loaded in
the seats next to the them :)

Actually, Jake already delivered on this request, although in a sneaky way. It
was Jake who (strongly?) suggested to the set designers that set #7045,
Hovercraft Hideout
would greatly benefit from the use of part# 4511, box car door
It’s a part that had not been seen in 16 years(!), and really the only special
piece you need to build boxcars. Other than that they’re just rectangular boxes
with wheels.
Also available for boxcar doors is part #2874
Four grey in the Cargo train (#4512) and two
black in the Engine Shed (#10027).
And there’s free instructions for eight different boxcar designs at the
Building
Instructions Portal.
I know it’s still not the same as being able to buy a boxcar set, but ya gotta
admit, that ain’t bad.

| Thanks Jake! This is a great looking set, especially needed for a Monday. And this, after finding out there is now a discount on bulk track purchases in one of the online catalogs! And, yes, I am willing to be counted as a sucker. Considering all (...) (19 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
