Very nice looking carriages Red_Five! To me they wouldn't look out of place in a wild west setting.

Red Five, great wagons.
I am very impressed by the use of discoloured bricks to show ageing on the grey wagon.
Well done!

Thanks, but I don't have any plans for a wild west train. Not yet.
For some reason the Americans always favoured 4 axle wagons.

Excellent goods vans Red Five, the weathered appearance is a great touch.

In the west it was most likely a result of keeping the axle load down. Since European railroads were more likely to be shorter and state funded rather than private, the extra expense of building the track to cope with greater loading was less of a problem, so two axle cars are more common.

Re: More train MOCs.
Nice work with your refrigerated boxcar Red_Five. I guess you're right about the length, only I do wonder if you'd have problems getting it around Lego curves if it was longer.

Re: More train MOCs.
That's a very appealing little gatehouse and i love all the little details. The roofline certainly adds character and small flower garden and the flagstone paving are nice touches that make a work-a-day structure plainly a place where somebody cares about keeping their workplace a pleasant place to be.
I've been tempted to make walls from 1x2s as well because they look so good, - only you need so many of them to build a decent wall and it can be a pain trying to find enough of them.

Sorry, I failed to read your previous post! Those axles on my 'fridge car are about 16 studs apart, like the other boxcars I posted, and it tends to slow down the loco when going through corners and switches/points. Making it longer should not be a problem, as long as you have a flexible connection between the axles.
Finding enough 1x2 plates for a structure can be frustrating, yeah, but Bricklink.com should solve all of that.
