Well it looks ok but it is not an actual container car It is a Road Trailer car.

AAAAAAAANNNTT! you are both wrong!

Rodea, that is not a container, unless it is a container on a trailer on a traincar. That is what is known as a 'piggy-back'.

Bobby, a RoadRailer is a trailer specially adapted to be used with special 'bogies'. These go under the rear of the trailer. There is a special hitch on the front and back, so the front of the trailer is actually supported by the trailer in front of it and not by the bogie. There is a special adapter bogie on the front of the first one and a different one one the last one for connection to the rest of the train. Amtrak used these on passenger cars, most likely for mail and packages as they were easy to drop and add at any point on the route.

Snoopy...if you can get the pictures (left, right, front and back sides) from that cars, I guess I can make it..... , if not I can make it with Rodea Logos.....

I'll see what I can come up with. For the top I just create it from the side views. The rear and front can be done with any trailer or even a container if the colors are close enough.

Well, with a little editing of Rodeas trailers and mating them up with one of my new 80' flats and two containers, we have a Trailer Car

The car and the trailers can be edited since the trailers are from the Container DDSs, with a bit of minor editing.

Cool Where can I get that car?

Hmmm, all this forum scanning and I find a TrainCar I built but never posted..... Gotta find that in my 147 GB of SMR files, rotate one of the trailers and post it.
