Sometimes you have to take things into your own hands and create what you like. Here’s a custom 53’ stand alone car that I made utilizing a MTH 48’ stack car, and splicing in a 5’ section (1 1/4”) to create the 53’ length. I then custom painted the car in the new TTX logo. Also did several XPO 53’ containers.

Jeff,

Great work as usual- I would be interested to know how you did the XPO Logistics 53' containers. Are there Decal kits from Microscale available, or did you print those up on your own? I am just catching up on getting more Atlas Maxi IVs, and populating them.

I have a couple of 5-unit Thrall well cars from K-Line, but IMO they look nothing like the real thing. I love some detailed pics on how you made yours look more realistc, since it's clear 40' cans are a major part of intermodal traffic these days.

Thanks,

Geno.
