Containers A-Z - by Dave Casdorph

David Casdorph provides an extensive photographic look at intermodal containers from A to Z. Information on ISO types, characteristics, owner/operator (when known), and available models are provided. You'll find photos of rare as well as common containers, and all are in color. This is a valuable research tool for both modelers and intermodal fans. Presented in PDF format (Adobe® Reader® 5.0 or later required), the text is fully searchable, and all 315 high-resolution color photos can be zoomed in on for close examination of every detail...something not possible with a printed version. Because the images are 300 dpi rather than the more common 96 dpi, readers can get an extremely close look at fine details. Pages can be printed for personal use. The 93-page series was first published in Model Railroading magazine.
