Nice to see another Cargo Sprinter model.
It certainly is less "beefy" than the one I built.
The profile of your Cargo Sprinter allows the load of 4 wide containers to look
good.
I find that this Cargo Sprinter model is quite a challenge to get the
proportions correct.
4 wide containers just don't look right on my Cargo Sprinter.
To get the profile of 6 wide containers somewhat appealing, I made them 16
studs long. That made it near impossible to then put two containers on one
wagon and still use fixed wheelsets (ie, non-pivoting). I stuck to fixed
wheelsets on the intermediate wagons because the photos I've seen have fixed
wheelsets. Maybe there are some real-life intermediate wagons that have
pivoting wheelsets?
Oh, well. Good model, James Powell. Thanks for posting photos.
later,
James Mathis
