Sea-Land Containers!

Wheels of Time — Fri, 11 May 2012 18:36:56 +0000

Sea-Land Service is one of the pioneers in containerized freight. These containers were around 1960s to the late 1980s, and perhaps even in the 1990.

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!

Under Support > FAQ.

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.
