Interesting, but it appears to me to just be the containers, no chassis to go with them?? Being 20' though, they would be a nice flatbed load or an enterprising resin caster could make a conversion for the 40' chassis to mount two of the 20' boxes to that chassis.

They already make a 40 footer with a trailer. These are just additional pieces. I don't build big rigs but I see some neat diorama possibilities with both of these. I remember reading not long ago that someone had built a neat contemporary house out of 3-4 of the larger ones.

Geeee, I didn't know that!!

The problem is, the 40' chassis only has attachment points to attach ONLY a 40' container to it! There need to be two more attachment points in the middle of the chassis to be able to attach 20' containers to the 40' chassis, and though they are shown on the box art, they are NOT included in the kit. The chassis found in the kit is not even close to the box art, as it is set to European specs and also has a spread axle that I had to modify to make the chassis more like an American chassis.
