Just wondering....................so (2) of these containers will fit on top of (1) Yang Ming container?
Regards,Swafford
Swafford,
I can confirm that there are no holes in the middle of the 40' Yang Ming container (top or bottom) but it would be easy to drill a couple small holes in the top of the container if a person wanted to stack the 20' containers on top. OR, a couple pieces of double sided tape would be just as effective.
Here is a photo of the 40' container stacked above the two 20' containers. I did not put pegs in the middle (pegs only in the outside holes) and it rides around the track just fine.

So now I just need another 10' to build an inter-modal transfer yard.

Yeah, this is just an underhanded trick to get us to expand our layouts! thumb
