Anyone ever see any dimensions or plans for the cigar box on wheels pictured on this page?

Jim,
Thanks for the reply. I wanted to build my own. I doubt that he will give me the dimensions since he produces and sells the car. But thanks anyway.
Hey Turtle -
Give him an email. As far as I know he doesn't produce them anymore but I'm pretty certain that he would be more than willing to share his knowledge. Plus he's a pretty nice guy, too.
Search "Lionel 200 first motorized gondola". If you do an image search, you will get lots of different views.
Remember that the track gauge was 2-7/8" and you can make a good guess at most of the other dimensions from the photos.
Another option might be to ask the TCA museum people for help.
I'm not sure if they have an original or a repro on display there. If they do, I'm sure they would be happy to take some measurements for you.
...and I second the comment about Joe. I'm sure he will be willing to be of some help to you.
Jim
Okay I will search google and email him too.
