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

I think thats what your looking for.  I used an Avery clear shipping label for

train stuff so for the top I had to use tiles and plates instead of the • special
4x8 tile/plate hybrid part.  It is also solid all the way around.  No doors.
