I have never seen this type of shipping container before…
EDIT photo [:D]
the cartoon artwork is cool too!!! [8D] What I think is really interesting is that they have doors
on the sides…making them useful for local or shorter runs. No need to remove the container
for access!!! I have seen 1/24 and 1/32 “normal” containers…do any of you know if
there is a company that makes these side door type?
Thanks!

Anime (pronounced: animay) artwork. Bugs Bunny is a cartoon, and yes it is way cool artwork. I poke fun at the distinction as well, but only among close friends.

Kurt, I see you are from Ann Arbor…so yeah, I gues you do know the difference!!! There are a few Anime shops up there. Did Whizzywig go out of business…or just move?

Wow you must be close to know about Wizzywig.
They moved to S. State Street, just south of the Ann Arbor Airport. Just a different location.

HaH!!! I get around!!! So I’ve driven past it and didn’t know. Ok…there used to be a restaurant
called The Burro on East William almost to State. They’ve been gone from there for a while. Someone told me they moved to Plymouth Road…but I haven’t found anything. In case you aren’t familiar…they served burritos as big as your head!!!
Maybe you know one of my drivers for my 1/12th scale line…
She’s actually a bit tall for 1/12th but I wasn’t going to argue with her!!! [swg]

Dug up some more photos…going to try to build up a few of these as the only scales they seem to be manufactured in are N and HO.
