Does anyone manufacture O-scale 53' intermodal equipment?
Posted by Doublestack on Sunday, October 10, 2010 1:46 PM

HI there,

I'm looking for O scale 53' intermodal equipment (well cars, containers, chassis.)    I can find plenty of 40' and some 48' equipment, but nothing in 53'     Since that is the dominant size for North American domestic transportation, I'm surprised at that.  

Am I missing someone's products out there?

Checked the websites for MTH, Atlas O,  Lionel,  E-bay, and Googled it.   Nada!

I've thought about buying 40 or 48' equipment and kitbashing (stretching it) but I'd prefer to buy 53's

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thx, Dblstack

Think you might get better results going to the Classic Toy Trains forum.  More O scale folks over there.

Good luck,
