Here’s my custom 7-wide intermodal train based on the popular Lego sets 10133 & 10170, as well as a crane.

7-Wide EMD GP38:

I built two of these locomotives. I find that building in seven-wide is a fun and interesting experience!

7-Wide TTX Intermodal Cars:

These cars are heavily inspired by the 8-wide intermodal car work of John Neal. I built three sets of cars. The containers are 5 studs wide and 27 studs in length.

Intermodal Yard Crane:

This is a non-motorized static display model. I used quite a few of the angle brackets to connect the vertical brick pillars together in shear. This helps to keep the model from easily falling apart when handled.

Enjoy!

(...) Spencer, These are beautiful. I haven't seen a lot of 7-wide stuff and this really shows off its potential wonderfully. Can you share any experience in terms of running 7-wide vs. 6-wide/8-wide? I'm curious how these would look running on a (...) (18 years ago, 26-Jun-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
