Does/has anybody offered the early style double stack cars that clamped the upper containers? Like the ones used on the Susquehanna(NYS&W)/Sea Land trains in the late 1980s/early 1990's. All I can find are the later cars that lack the raised clamping systems on each end of the car. Thanks Mike

There's still a ton of them out there too
Thanks, I put some wanted posts over on forums that allow such things. See if I can roust up a second hand set. I would order new ones but these down weeks at my employer has put a sudden crimp on hobby spending. To bad A-Line doesnt do the NYS&W/Sea Land decals, or atleast I didn't see them. Mike
Check Ebay for decals. There are some Sea-Land, not sure if it's what you want.
I still see some of these occasional watching train cams.

I do to, they have the uprights still but the clamps themselves have been removed since modern containers keep themselves in place on thier own. A couple 5 car strings will look good behind my yellowjacket B40-8's
If you are interested in RTR Sealand Twin Stacks, Intermountain has offered them for around 12 + years now. I have two sets from earlier runs.

Awsome, even better as my kit building skills have diminished with age. I will keep my eyes open for a set of those or two. Thanks for posting! Mike
Agreed. I had a kit version once but it's no small thing, especially with limited hobby time and no paint booth to assemble, paint and decal.
I believe Intermountain plans to rerun more Twinstacks in the coming year. Check their website although the Chinese factory closing is delaying most of their project.
