I did this for my 5 unit container car.

on another topic:
This car does not do well on grades, there is no lateral flex in it so
it tends to work the tiles with center Technic stud loose from the
bogies... But when I let some of the joints swivel on the Y (where X is
track direction, Y is across and Z is up/down) direction, the car
derails a lot.
Ben, what did PNLTC do for the thrall cars you guys did?
