Dan, can you see if this rather good idea is going to happen as those of us in Europe will need to get it planned and built, and then send across the pond in time. Perhaps you could post a .DAT file or some pictures on Brickshelf that will act as a (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)

Larry is spot on: any container of the x8 or x16 form would work (I also build solid, no door units). Car design, this can indeed vary. I suggest 16-stud "flat" types or doublestack types of as simple of a design as one can make -- thus, they'll (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jun-00, to lugnet.trains)
