I just received my S@H order with 2 3110, so I duplicated this gondola. The
box is actually 7x7x3. I also noticed that 2 of these are available in a
blue color in 3119.
One oddity is that since it is 7x7, there is a cross shaped pattern of tubes
on the bottom which are centered on each axis. This means that you need to
sit the box 1 plate above the top of the wheelsets to clear the
perpendicular cross pattern. It does make up into a nice little (well, not
so little since it's 7 wide) car. The extra thick corners on the boxes make
for nice looking ribbing on the final gondola.
Thanks Erik for turning us on to this part.
