Hi train freaks,
I’ve just uploaded a rendering of a 40-Feet container (LxWxH cm = 1219 x 244 x
259) (24studs x 6studs x 6bricks) and accompanying train car. For the
container, only the lenght is to scale, not the witht and height, To be on
scale, the width should be aprox. 5 studs and the height 5 studs too (1 stud
equals aprox. 50 cm). The container has 2 doors that can open (2 x 6 studs),
witch cause the problem of width & height dimensions.
The accompanying car is of the type Sgns
(info at : http://www.sbbcargo.com/index/srvneuwagentypen-angebot.htm ) and
can carry one 20-Feet and one 40-Feet container, OR, 1 40-Feet container in
the center of the freight car.
The lenght of the carrier in 37 studs long,and 6 studs wide. This means that
one 40-Feet type container (24 studs long) AND one 20-Feet type container (12
studs long) fit on the car, as in reality.
Due to the larger width of the containers, build i the carrier on 6 studs
wide, witch should be aprox 4.5 to 5 studs in reality, with gives also
building problems.

Thanks for this nice freight car. Hope to see the real moc soon.
I would like to comment on the scale you used. From the link provided, I could
read that the base of the car was 2259+/-2mm wide. If I calculate from your
scale (1 stud about 50cm) then the car should be 4.5 studs width. Your scale is
then 1/62.5, to me this seems a little bit too low. I know these scales are a
never ending story since we never know exactly what it should be. However, I
usually use between 1/45 and 1/50 depending on the stud resolution, which would
give about 6.2 stud width for your freight car, and quite the same for the
container. This is obviously what you seems to have done in fact :) You know the
scale I mentioned is completely arbitrary, since we never know exactly what
object to use as a reference for calculation. The length is another story, we
can deal with compression which has also been discussed thouroughly in the past.
Cheers,
