Larry is spot on: any container of the x8 or x16 form would work (I also
build solid, no door units).
Car design, this can indeed vary. I suggest 16-stud "flat" types or
doublestack types of as simple of a design as one can make -- thus, they'll
look more uniform.
An idea I've just tried...
to me, stacking 6 - x8 units on a drop center looks a little off. I remove
one and center the uppermost 3 ontop of the 2. On the raised ends, I build
simple supports to pick up the cantilevered ends of the containers. Certainly
not prototype in the most strict sense, but the resulting overhang look isn't
far off of the American practice of loading longer ontop of shorter. Plus, my
daughter is working on her +5 tables, so it's a practical exercise. :)
I'm gonna try to get clubmember Jon Rasmussen involved in the dialog here.
He's in process of building a large container complex which would be worthy of
the influx of containers we could see.
