Since I have had still a bunch of Legoredo parts, I tried again to build
something in brown. Since the walls are 6-studs high, what is too much for
6wide cars, I had to use a SNOT technic. But that allowed nice small vertical
lines in black.

If you now interested in my new design, take a look here under "original
creations":

I still think there might be someone out there, who has done something quite
similar before, even if I can't find any prototyp. Am I right?

Kind Regards and have a nice weekend,

Ben

Very cool. It is always great to see innovative uses for "single use" parts. Are the floors of the cars sloped so the grain pours ou thte middle, or are the floors perfectly flat? Thanks for the inspiration, Chris P.S. That is a lot of yellow 1x1 (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) I don't think I have seen this clever technique before. Bravo! I may be wrong, though. While in the US, cars like this were never used in grain service (well, never say never about US railroading, there is so much out there) they are EXACTLY (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jul-00, to lugnet.trains)
