Well, even though I said I wouldn't be making any rolling stock for a while, I
made some anyway. I made a flat bed with a truck trailer on it and a box car.
The highlights are that both the box car and the trailer have makeshift working doors.

As far as container and trailer size. I decided on 32 studs in length for
both; the door on the trailer makes it more like 33 studs. I decided to go with
a trailer height of 7 bricks with layer of plates for the bottom and a layer of
plates for the top. My containers are 6 bricks high with a layer of plates for
the bottom, and a layer of plates and then tiles for the top. I also decided to
make the containers click together. My containers have 1x4 plates at each end,
and those 1x4 plates hole the top container to the bottom container.

| (...) use of thin walls for the box car door. I used a design similar to the trailer doors a while back on a couple of my own models: (URL) minds think alike :) --Bram (25 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
