Are you talking about intermodal equipment, and if so do you mean container chassis as in for trucks or for trains? What scale are you looking to model?
If you are modeling N scale then check out http://www.deluxeinnovations.com/ they make some really great intermodal stuff.
There is also this book from MR magazine, that I plan on getting myself soon.

American Limited makes both 20 and 40' container chassis. In Intermodal Modelers Guide there are several articles about kitbasking the Walthers chassis and about
scratchbuilding them. its published by Model Railroading Magazine. Hope this helps
