If you have a problem downloading them I have PD F's that you can print out on your printer. Cut them out and assemble with white glue. They look fantastic.
If you want these, Email me at [e-mail] with a request or come to my forum and post your request in the guest posting area. I'll Email them to you as soon as possible.

AUTHOR EDIT:The containers don't always print to scale on US printers. Set your paper size to A4. They will print to scale then.

My forum address is in my signature. It's the one with my name in it.

    Do you figure I could feed .10 styrene through my printer?  Hmm...

You might be able to. I've heard of one guy who puts wood through his.

    I think I'll have to give it a try.  This could save me a LOT of money.  Thanks :)

    Wood...?  Oh my.

I think you could feed the styrene through, depending on your printer. Some have a straight-through option that would probably allow them to work. The question would be if the ink would adhere to the styrene.

    Well I know that I could feed it through, but my problem is as you mentioned, I don't know how well it would set...

If the printer doesnt 'smudge' as it is printing, maybe a spray of dulllcoat would help set the ink..... just a thought as you will probably dullcoat after assembly anyway.

Hope it may help

Chech the settings of your printer. If it is old you may only have a 'letter' setting. Ussually a lever on the printer you have to move over.
Otherwise you can use the 'cardstock' setting in the printers properties section. That should work for the thickness. As to whether it will stick to plastic, that I don't know.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for posting the Paper Craft for Containers couple years ago was going to buy some on ebay. The seller was giving a free sample but it was all white container and he had no pics of his other containers. a few dollars for the PDF would have been worth it.

Currently have 50 KATO Container cars and 100 Containers now just need to decorate the ship yard and lay down track for the yard. Going to use Kato UniTram so have nice flat surface with the track laid with in pavement so it will look like the actual shiping yard. Even have 3 container movers and working on build a large crain.

I fed some thin styrene not sure how thick though my printer as a test last week it works fine.

Yes it will smudge so sealing would be the first order of business. The test I did was just that so I washed it off.
