<p class="MsoNormal">I have a project that I started years ago which is a A-LINE Gunderson Maxi-Stack, which is a 5 car set (ACDEB).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looks like this as a new kit (see below) . I had started it, but then put it away. I suspect that was because the instructions, which likely 100% complete, but is only 50% understandable in a step-by-step or car-by-car process. Setting some goals to clear out started but not completed is one of them. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Researching the history of this car(s) it appears to have been the leading innovation in mixed length container trains. I believe some of these are still running.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Information Needed – I want to sketch out the dimensions of this car and wanted to start with the wheelbase, but searching for 2 days on google/bing yields zero results. Has anyone seen drawings of these below? I’ve measured the models themselves using just a scale ruler, but this could be off 3-6 inches.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my reassessment of this project, I think it will be faster to design the detail parts since one part is used on multiple cars. Atlas has an O scale version of this and images that came up in my search it looks like the pivoting braces/blocks are working. Is there one of those in the club?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know if the new assembled cars come with revised detail parts, I figure once you get the detail parts, getting the body shape is a piece of cake. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have close up photos of the Sea-Land cars. I came across these one day between Livermore to Pleasanton. So I came back later with camera to take photos. After shooting about an entire 24 shot 35mm roll, I noticed a white pickup truck and a man walking to the tracks, then I noticed on the pickup truck Railroad Police. He told me to leave and stay away. This was years before 9.1.1.</p>
