The saitbox and small can make a fine tank car. The engine, with a large spool for a smokestack, a headlight from another or from a small can, and a smaller box or part of a carton for the can can be as impressive as the imagination of the maker can design it. Open cars are made by cutting off one side of a carton, and boxcars with doors are simply made from the cartons.
