We are really happy to announce that we are taking Pre-Orders for our new 35-ft containers and chassis kits in both HO and N scales!  In additon, be sure to check out our new never done before Sea-Land decals for 35-ft, 40-ft, 40-ft double post cans c. 1960s - 1980s.  

Sea-Land containers will only be available directly from Wheels of Time. (click on link to web)

You may also read about the history, equipment and operations including railroad coordinated "Land-Bridge" that Sea-Land instituted.

Be sure to tell your friends in HO scale too.  Let's make this a hit so we can do more early container pioneers!  Enjoy!

A new FAQ is posted for the Piggy-Packer:  a partially exploded diagram of the Piggy-Packer (N scale) showing certain parts that may work loose from the assembly.  Noticed the orientation of the parts.
