Hi. I am a newbie to the forums as well as to model railroading in general. I may be posting some new threads from time to time that may have some stupid questions. I just wanted to lay that disclaimer out there for all of the hobbyists who may not enjoy non-challenging items of discussion.
I recently purchased six Intermountain 48" husky stack container cars. I currently do not have any containers for them and I am wondering what the best containers for them might be. I am having an extremely difficult time finding 48" containers, but I have found numerous 20", 40", 45", and 53" containers at various shops. If I am unable to find 48" containers, in which direction should I go? What would be most prototypical? Would a 40" or 45" be too small and loose in the well?
I am sure this seems like a silly dilemma to some (maybe even most), but I am just getting started in model railroading and I would like to do it right the first time. Thank you in advance for any tips and/ or suggestions.
