Does anyone make the original paint scheme Sea Land containers. So you could buy them without the cars. Lionel cars? To add to the original posters labor comments, back in the day, mid 70s, I hired out as an extra for a month or so on the Sacramento Docks. It was hit and miss depending on how may longshoremen showed that day. I had a two day selection once. It was a pretty big ship to load, and looking down into the hold from the deck was somewhat breathtaking for a farm kid from Nebraska. Anyway, I worked two day shifts and even with multiple shifts, it took more than two days to finish loading. The cranes swung in large pallets of rice bags, about 60 pounds or so each. One by one the bags were taken off the pallets and re-stacked neatly in the hold. The ship was bound for India where hand work was again necessary, I assume, to unload.
