The Pillsbury car is excellent. This one is a definate MUST COPY (Thanks

When I saw his caboose and his box cars my first thought was, "I have to

car, but now it is riding on the SS LegoSea Explorer (a.k.a. Cargo Carrier

| (...) That car is a double door car. Most boxcars have a straight sidewall. The underframe central support member does not come out all the way to the side/edge, and the frame member is visible from the side (it's usually a dirty brown/gray/black (...) (25 years ago, 7-Apr-99, to lugnet.trains)
