Although I haven't put a web page up yet, I thought this group might
enjoy a few pics of some recent train car creations
bay window caboose.

I may replace some of the side slope bricks with clear slopes
to represent the forward/back facing windows.
It's loosely modeled after an Erie-Lackawanna caboose.

Centerbeam flat

Why do I always forget to put loads on my cars??? Actually I built
this with Denise's bricks. When I build my own I want to use the 1x3x1
dual inverse slopes for the top of the center beam, I think this would
create a prototypical look with the addition of more vertical
members/holes.
ribbed roof boxcar

Nothing much to say about this one, it was a study to see if I could create
that ribbed roof look. When this goes into rebuild I plan on using 2x3
slopes instead of 4x3. It will also have ladders ala the boxcar on the
left.
tank car
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2502
standard tank car, I just got a few of those technic subs so I had to put
those cylinders to a good use. This car was amazingly strong for having
a frame made out of 1x10 plates. It only broke once during the show.
During the next rebuild, it will have roof walks, brakes wheels, etc.
sw-7/9 switcher

A study for a switcher, I call it the raccoon engine because of the
mask-like
face. This will be totally rebuilt.

| (...) roof bricks, translucent. If you mean roof bricks I do not think that will give you the look you want. I do not mean to be presumptuous but you could try mounting 1x2x2 windows at an angle. Ben ( (URL) and I ( (URL) both used the technique on (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
