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.

Merci Philippe pour votre reponse!
Now i continue in English.
These cars go with my new station (MOC proto type version :
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1214203) to Lego World
2005(Zwolle - Holland)!
Concerning the lenght / width of a car i build, i use a verry simple calculation
method. I keep building in 6 wide, so, if the width of a car is aprox. 3m, then
i divide this throug 6 (stud width), with give me 50 cm / stud. Then i do the
same for the lenght. In this case the lenght of the carrier is 18m40cm, divide
by 50 cm gives me 36.8 studs, round up to 37 studs. the width of the BOGIE is
3.062m,the carrier where the containers are loaded is 2259+/-2mm wide. info
found on : http://www.aae.ch/e/wagen/wagen_09.htm
Most cars i build have a ratio between 43cm/stud and 50cm/stud.
Regards and see you perhaps in Reims (F) OR in Zwole (NL)!
