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

Comments would be appricated. I'll take some photos of the Class 25's when I
get my railway track back, along with some more arches...
