Well I took some time over the weekend to put together a container car with
4x16 and 4x8 containers on it. I don't know if you will wan't the whole car or
just a container but here is what I have so far.

Now if you can't tell that car and containers are a NELUG submission I think
your pretty hard of sight. I also tried to make it blatently obvious what our
URL is so no one should miss it. I know this setup is not Prototypical but it
is LEGOtypical so I guess thats OK with me.
I am going to try a box car too just to see what I can come up with. Like I
said I am extremely limited when it comes to train stuff so we will see what I
can come up with.
