I've modified the construction so that it does not use the special rails.
No real "special" pieces used anymore.
It is pretty much the same construction, I just removed the rails and
adjusted some spacings.
The doors slide pretty well and the assemble box car has a fairly solid
"feel" to it.
The sliding "doors" stick out the same amount as in the version 1 concept
as shown previously in the link below. But, maybe this amount by which they
protrude is too much?
I will try to have photos up by tomorrow night, in case anyone is interested.
later,
