PROTOTYPE AND BACKGROUND INFO:
An intermodal container is a large, standardized shipping container for transporting goods across different methods like ships, trains, and trucks without unloading the cargo. This 40 - foot container is the most popular size. The corrugated design on the sides and roof makes it super rigid and great for stacking, similar to corrugated iron or cardboard boxes. International (ISO) containers have special castings at the eight corners for twist - lock fasteners, allowing them to be gripped from different directions and stacked up to ten high for storage.
Using these Athearn ATH27058 HO scale containers is a piece of cake. Since they're fully assembled, you can start using them right away on your model railroad. You can stack them easily for a more realistic and organized look. Just be careful when handling them as they might be a bit delicate. For maintenance, keep them in a dry place to avoid any rust or damage. If they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth. And that's it - enjoy adding these great - looking containers to your model railway setup!
