I recently bought the new issue of MTH Twin Stack and really liked the 20ft containers included, but not the 40ft'ers

 

This set:

 

 

So I used Tamiya TS rattle cans from my LHS make the top containers match the bottom

 

 

 

 

kline and cmacgm [1)

 

Here are the results after repainting the 5 white containers:

 

 

klina and cmg

kline and cmacgm [3)

kline and cmacgm [4)

kline and cmacgm [5)

kline and cmacgm [6)

 

 

If anyone else wants to make these 40ft CMA-CGM and K-LINE Hi-cubes, email me and I'll send you the file for the decals

Sure thing Jeff.  I think that CMA-CGM abandoned the globe logo before things went to hi-cube, but it is gratifying to have that neat scheme in the 9'6" box.
 
Also, it's fun having the K-line web address on the container.  Very modern!

Nope!  Those are my "shorty" Maxi-III cutdown cars I hacked and painted from MTH husky stacks. 
 
They are common on the rails since 2008, but my set is the only ones I know of in any scale of model RR.

Guys, since Martin has made this artwork available, Jim at Highball Graphics is aware he is allowing the sharing of it to order these decals- it is titled "K-Line O scale container sheet". The price is $35 per sheet, but it appears to have enough to do 3 K-Line 40/45', 4 CGM 40/45', 1 40/45' China Shipping, and 3 20' China Shipping containers.

 

He did a great job setting these up for us. Beautiful job by Martin to say the least!! Thanks again!

I think that's the wrong file.  If you order that one, you may end up with some of them (like the China Shipping 20ft'ers) with only part of the decals needed.
 
I'm not sure what happened here, because I thought I sent Jeff a "cleaned-up" corel file.
