Phil B Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Using part 87058 in black as a base, I built two sets of 2 articulated TTX well cars. Loaded them with a custom container design I published on Rebrickable last month, which uses the profile brick (1x2 and 1x4) as the base for the walls - seems to give the right corrugated steel look. Decals are from OKBrickWorks. Looking at the pictures I might need to raise the end trucks/bogies by a plate - did notice this all the time I ran them on my tracks, but on the pictures it seems the cars are not fully level.

zephyr1934 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Looking good, excellent use of 87058 and a big improvement on the well car design in the Maersk set. Quote
Commander Wolf Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Clever containers. I did a double take Quote
Phil B Posted March 18, 2020 Author Posted March 18, 2020 Forgot to mention: container instructions are on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-36402/BrickAcademy/modular-standard-size-shipping-container Quote
