For it's entire production run of fifteen million vehicles, made from 1908 to 1927, the Ford Model T came in any color you wanted... as long as it was black! These two Model T MOC's were inspired by a MOC by Calin over on Flickr. Each car seats one figure. Here we see two brand-new 1923 hardtop Tin Lizzies about to be loaded on a flatcar for delivery to a Ford dealership in Anytown, USA. Yes, I know this isn't how they did it back then, they actually loaded them in boxcars. But then, if I did that, then you couldn't see the cars! Thoughts?

Scot Nick inspired 8 by 48 stud Technic-frame depressed center flatcar with load
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
This car was originally a 7 wide model made by ScotNick, (as seen here) and was about half as long as the 48 studs long, 8 studs wide behemoth you see here. The Technic frame holds things together nicely, with the top plates being held on by pins with studs on the end. This type of depressed center flatcar would normally hold turbine components or entire airplane bodies, but for my purposes it holds Lord Sam Sinister's car with barely any room to spare. Why, you may ask? I don't know, it just seemed like a good idea at the time. NOTE: The automobile is inspired by this build which was in turn a modified version of set 70911, (Arctic Roller) This model is Sam Sinister's largest ride to date. Why it needs to ride on this flatcar is anyone's guess! Sam Sinister's car fits, but only just barely. their is still a 1/2 stud overhang because of the fenders on either side. As you can see, the 8 wide model dwarfs the 34 stud long official 6 stud wide Lego depressed center flatcar part by about 14 studs. The freight car by itself without the automobile. Two figures (sans tall hats) can fit side-by-side in the car, and their is space in the opening trunk for a briefcase. The model lacks the spring loaded shooters of the original 70911 set, and replaces them with the car's grille. The LDD file for both flat car and automobile is here.

Built in 1952 by Pennsylvania Railroad, the "Queen Mary" was the world's largest freight car at the time. It was 121 feet long, weighed 250 tons and could carry 250 tons. Originally it was built as a depressed flatcar, class FD2. Later on in 1960 a "well" body was built for it to carry items which are narrow and tall like flywheel and rolling mill housings. The two bodies can be used interchangably on the same trucks depending which kind of load it is to carry. The Queen Mary was eventually retired in the 1990s during the Conrail era. The unit can be found today at the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum with the FD2 body. No one knows what became of the FW1 body. My MOC is the FW1 version of the Queen Mary flatcar. It follows LEGO 6 wide train style. It has 16 axles of standard LEGO bogies in groups of 4. It is 84 studs long. It can negiotiate LEGO R40 curves and switches.
