Actually, that's exactly how those containers were built. I was originally
inspired to start making 5 and 7 wide cars since the train heads were always
arguing 6 or 8. I said make 'em 7 and stop complaining. Then I went home and
tried it. This truck is actually a combination of 4, 5, and 6 wide:

When I discovered the 7 wide openings common on Znap, I knew I could build
containers with floors and roofs at 6 and walls at 7 wide.
I did some experimenting with alternating by half steps withOUT jumper tiles.
Using the tubes on the underside of bricks and plates you can widen a cornice
(my example) from 6 wide to 7 (keeping the 7 wide plate centered, and then to 8
wide. I don't have pictures yet, but hopefully will in the next weekend or so.
Have you guys found ANY system brick that connects or fits with the purple
connectors?

As I come up with some skinning techniques, I'll try to keep them posted here. Until then, (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.znap, lugnet.build)
