Thanks everyone for their feedback on my design. Based on comments I've received I've redesigned my Boxcar to give it a more modern look and added the new Powered Up motor. I'm awaiting my new submission to be approved on Lego Ideas.

Thanks everyone for the comments. The Train in the video is my 7yr old nephews that I got for him last Christmas. Every year at Christmas time my father sets up an O Scale train layout with lots of action cars that my nephew loves. My nephew also loves Legos so last year I got him the train set. Shortly after setting it all up he asked if I could make him an action car for his Lego train set "just like Pop-pops", so that's how my creation became to be. It was my sister who showed me the Lego Ideas website and encouraged me to enter. My brother-in-law helped with the pictures and video (I am not tech savvy) and advised me on how to promote. I unfortunately have a very busy work schedule right now so my apologies for shamelessly promoting my design and not having the time to follow up with any updates. When things do slow down for me I'll be sure to provide more updates. I do not have any additional projects in the works but must say I really enjoyed the challenge of designing this boxcar, so who knows. Anyways, thanks again for all the comments and support!

Phil B - Thanks for the feedback. I had no idea I was using out dated parts. I’ve placed an order for the Power Up parts and plan to incorporate them into my build. Thanks again!

I’ve created a LEGO Power Functions Unloading Train Boxcar that I’ve submitted to the LEGO Ideas site. If you like my design I’d appreciate everyone’s support. Thanks! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/fba5c9a4-7d6e-476a-ab7b-f4487a715cf6 https://youtu.be/LkEOlXjVfTw
