No room for a big intermodal facility? No worries. I packed my version of a terminal into a 48 x 36 x 24 x 20-foot rectangular space framed by the CPR main line, layout backdrop, and a highway bridge. The stacked containers include: 20' boxes from MTH and Weaver; 40' boxes from Atlas O and K-Line; 45' boxes from Atlas O; 48' boxes from Lionel and K-Line box; and tank containers from K-Line. No space for the operating intermodal crane, but a Motorart Kalmar DCE container handler stands just as tall and boasts even better details. To hold unused K-Line container chassis, I built a vertical storage rack using I-beam sections of strip styrene. All that’s left to add is an anxiously awaited O scale version of Athearn’s modern yard tractor!
