I'm building a train (even though I could just buy one)...what should I make the body out of? Some kind of putty, Lexan, paper mache or what?

I was going to make it an old style train. I bought a box of clones and am going to make each one a seperate car. Then I will hook all the cars together and drive them around. I'm doing a hidden tri-cell in the first car (the engine)....and I'm removing the motors from the 2nd and 3rd cars, so they roll freely. The last car (caboose) may have a motor, but I will use the same frequency to give it some extra torque. I will have to just play with it and see if the engine will pull 3 other cars.

Sound like this would work? What would be the best material to use for the bodies?
