# Hopper and Container Wagons


I've been playing around with LDD this weekend for a bit.

Via [bricklink](http://www.bricklink.com/v2/main.page) I've bought
enough pieces to build a second [goal hopper
car](http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildinginstructions/6125621.pdf):

Now these hopper cars are somewhat short, so I decided I need a longer
version with a bogie on each end. After a couple of false starts this resulted in:

Some more images (that haven't been rendered):

Also, intrigued by the [Maersk train](https://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Maersk-Train-10219), I wanted
to recreate the container wagon ... (to build myself one day):
