 Hi Pieter, I agree, Just nice sides ends, and roof are all that one really 
needs. The other basic parts already exist if we are willing to go out and look 
for them,and most of us already have scrap boxes full of a lot of that stuff.
   If anyone knows how to make 3 D cad files another option to consider would 
be designing the parts and having a master 3 D printed then use that to mold as 
many sides, etc. as wanted. The 3 D printing is charged by the quantity of 
material(a TT scale PS2 hopper costs about $25 to print) so it might be too 
expensive to print all the cars but printing one to use as a master would 
spread out the cost per kit.....dave
