Nice job Metrolink Yes.  They were some of the first to be introduced when container traffic started.

Nice job! Wish I had your patience and ability.

As others say Intermountain made them and they are amazingly cheap for the quality. I run one set in a real mongerel of an intermodal consist that may just have about one of everything that's been done in RTR and even a couple of old Blue Box huskys and maxis I knocked up myself 25 or more years ago, which BTW still look pretty decent to my eyes.

Doing something for yourself is always more satisfying though I have to admit.

Unless you're absolutely determined to build from scratch, A-line made them in HO. Well out of production now, but readily available. Several on eBay right now
