    Who makes an HO scale 40' corrugated side 8.5" tall container. Athearn and Walthers both are high cube (9.5" tall) models.

    Con-Cor I think make a 40' 8.5' tall container but I think it's smooth side with external posts.

    Am I missing something?

    The only corrugated ones I've found are Kibri, as per this link
    Walthers Cat.

    Any use? [​IMG]

    A-line do 8'6" high 40' but they sound like sheet & post boxes.

    Yep...the Kibri's are the only 8.5' tall ones I can think of too. And yes, the A-Line 40-footers are 8.5' x-post boxes, as is the 45' one they do (got a couple in my "to-do" pile). The upcoming container from walthers will be all-corrugated (no logo panels), but will also be a 9.5' high-cube. Nice, but we still need some of those 8.5' boxes! My intermodal wish list:

    45' all-corrugated high-cube container
    40' all-corrugated 8.5' container

    That's just the start. :cool:
