What a neat idea. Got most of the 20' containers to print but NONE of the 40' containers would open. Any ideas?

When viewing the web site in Internet Explorer verison 6.0 SP2 you can have it translated into English using the following procedure. (As long as your default language is English)

1. Open the web site in IE.
2. Right-click in any open white space area of the web page, and a drop down menu will appear.
3. Towards the bottom of the drop down menu will be option "Translate Page into English." Click that option and then at the top of the page you will see it begin to translate. The page will probably refresh and then will be display in a literal Engli***ranslation. Grammer will be off, but you will get the gist of the instructions.

Hope it helps!

Cool, except I can't get any of the N scale containers to come up. The HO ones seem to come up fine. I'm going to bookmark it and see if I can get them in the future.

Hey Marlon;

I printed all of the HO ones on regular paper , cut them out and assembled them and they look great! I now have a stack of 20 containers sitting by my freight terminal, waiting to be shipped. One of my friends had to look twice to see that they weren't plastic or resin.

I've downloaded some of them. Now, all I have to do is to print them on heavy printer paper, or print them, cut them apart and glue to some cardstock. Cool!

Go for it, Trevor. You can never have too many of these things. Particularly when all you have to do is print them, cut them out and glue the together.

Well, almost free. Just follow this link. http://www.igshansa.de/igsdownload.html
The instructions are all in German, but you should be able to see what has to be done. If you have trouble trouble downloading them directly, right click and save the target to your hard disk. I f you still can't download them for HO and N scale, send me your email address and I'll email the PDF's to you. There're 15 for HO scale and 3 for N scale.
