    There are any number of card container kits on the market most being photos converted to fold up models. The problem I have is that they do tend to lack the texture of the real thing, the other issue here in Australia is that home grown branded models in N scale are almost non existent and there are no decals available to do a conversion of a proprietry model. After numerous experiments and failures I finally came up with a result that I was happy with. These kits are made from card (2 per pack) and take around 20 mins to build and are very robust when made. The ribbed sides tend to make them appear more like the plastic models that are currently available but price wise these work out so much cheaper. The second photo shows these on my container flats, the 20' OOCL and the K Line 40' containers are Walthers models.

    Robyn I love these container kits you have been working on, the ribbed sides do add to the realism. Thanks for sharing.:thumbs:
