Here are the containers that Dan and I made for the last Portland GATS:

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.

OK I decided to go ahead and make a NELUG container...

I think thats what your looking for.  I used an Avery clear shipping label for
the decal and it looks OK.  I still have to build a car and I also want to try
this in Gray to see what it looks like.

Let me know if this looks satisfactory or not.  I don't have much in the way • of
train stuff so for the top I had to use tiles and plates instead of the • special
4x8 tile/plate hybrid part.  It is also solid all the way around.  No doors.

Well I took some time over the weekend to put together a container car with
4x16 and 4x8 containers on it.  I don't know if you will wan't the whole car or
just a container but here is what I have so far.

Now if you can't tell that car and containers are a NELUG submission I think
your pretty hard of sight.  I also tried to make it blatently obvious what our
URL is so no one should miss it.  I know this setup is not Prototypical but it
is LEGOtypical so I guess thats OK with me.

I am going to try a box car too just to see what I can come up with.  Like I
said I am extremely limited when it comes to train stuff so we will see what I
can come up with.
