I think Dan means the container that Lego has done several times in sets, it's
4x8 base and has appeared in at least 4549.

There is another size too... 4x16. Both are the same height and have the same
bottom and top "attachment" points. That's probably a better choice.
A special scan is not necessary, just refer to the 4549 building instructions:
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/4000/4549/
Hope that helps.
Now, it's a good point that containers by themselves need cars. THERE, the
standard is a bit less clear. The 4549 is very unprototypical and I'd rather
see a good easily reproducable articulated doublestack design (such as mine or
the PNLTC Thrall-ish car) used.
I know for sure I will be sending at LEAST a container. Probably more like a
bin of track and a bunch of cars. BTW, I saw my coach that has been on
"permanent" loan to PNLTC the other night and it's still hanging in there.
