This is a set of 8-wide LEGO freight cars to expand any LEGO train collection. In addition to the freight cars it includes a mini railyard to store the train cars, and a simple buffer design so the trains don't overrun the tracks. There are 6 train cars included in this set; 2 40' boxcars, 2 flatbeds, 1 covered hopper car, and 1 gondola.

The boxcars are modeled after 40' American Reefer Boxcars, one was built to be red and has a bold Logo while the other was modeled as the more traditional brown and has a very common circular logo style.

The flatbeds are the same base design, just adjusted to accomadate the different loads on them. The first flatcar has a load of logs from downed trees and makes use of the log printed tile. The second flat car has a load of 4 crates which could contain many different things such as tools, or goods such as fruits. I also kept the design for the top of the flatbed simple so if someone wants to remove either of the loads I designed for the train cars they are able to and attach their own to customize their layout.

The covered hopper is modeled after modern 40' American Covered Hoppers typically used to haul grain across the country. I chose to model after the 40' model rather than the larger ones to stay more true to the normal scale of LEGO trains and to not make any locomotives anyone chooses to run these with seem out of scale. I focused on the roof walkway and ladders for this model trying my best to make it resemnle the true model.

The gondola is a very common freight car because it is very versitile and can haul many things from scrap metal to sand which is what I chose to model. However I did make it a removable load so the buyer can choose to make their own load for this car without much effort as it just rests on tiles inside the body of the car and doesn't connect anywhere for ease of removal.

Overall this freight car set is the perfect buy for any LEGO train fan who wants more freight cars to run around their layout and lets be serious, who doesn't want more freight cars to make their long freight trains.
