Product Description
Standard ISO intermodal (road/rail/shipping) containers are 8' (2.44m) wide and stand 8' (2.44m), 8' 6" (2.59m) or "HiCube" 9' 6" (2.89m) tall.
They have been produced in in various lengths from 10-53' (3.05-16.15m), the most common being 20' (6.06m) or 40' (12.2m) long.
Prototype photographs of containers are commonplace on the Internet, but "Matt's Place" is a well structured resource.
NOTES
Choose the material and scale you require. UK N Gauge is 1:148, UK TT/3mm Scale is 1:100), OO is 1:76 and O is 1:43. US/European N Scale (1:160), TT (1:120) and HO (1:87).
This print contains front (doors in 3 styles) and rear panels (corrugated/basic refrigerator detail) to assist in the assembly of a wide variety of container models.
For the smaller scales, 1 x 8' tall, 1 x 8' 6" tall and 1 x 9' 6" tall pairs are included but for O Scale/Gauge, only 1x 8' and 1x 8'6" tall pairs are supplied.
Use these end panels with smooth or corrugated plasticard side, top and bottom panels to produce containers in whatever lengths are required.
Square or rectangular section acrylic or polystyrene bar, tube or duct can be an economic solution for smooth sided bodies or as formers for thin corrugated sheets.
Attach to plasticard using cyanoacrylic adhesive (Superglue).
