MNCW posted:Arne,
It took me all night to find this topic again. I should have liked it the first time I found it. Very interesting and you did a great job on the cars you showed, but I like the Heinz car the most.
Can you elaborate on how you went from photo #1 to #2 & #3...in other words, what did you use to cut the walls from the sheet steel and then fold/form the walls, roof, etc?

Hello Tom,
hope, the translate is to understand.
you need only simple tools.
A few scissors for tin, left and right hand.
A nibbling tool to cut out the hole for the door and cut out the holder
A tool to bend ( I don´t knew the englisch name of them)
After the first bend I take a wire to bend the round
Round on the roof sides
Here a box car, made from a tin biscuit box. You see the rounded roof sides and the rounded part to slide the door.
A view of the holder.
Other tools are a elektric drill and a small maschine to grind
