# Customizable Car Creator
Create Custom Railroad Freight Cars
## Summary
**_Note:_** Do not bother to try this on Thingiverse's Customizer. It won't work. You must download the files and run it in OpenSCAD on your local machine. It works there.
When you make trees for your layout, some are very detailed used as a focus point for a scene. Others are just puffballs to create the look and feel of trees in the distance. The cars that are created by this program are the puffball trees of you car collection. They are not highly detailed stars of the scene, they are the background to fill out and add depth to your collection. They are not a precise model of any prototype but are intended to look like typical cars that fill out a scene. I have tried to make them look as good as I can, based on prototype photos, but they are intentionally generic. This is intended as a way to produce a large number of cars inexpensively. We don't have Blue Box models any more, so I made this.
