Does anybody have any of the Bachmann Intermodal Containers? A few of them surfaced on eBay from an European importer and was curious how they stack up to the other containers on the market in size and detail. Do they fit okay in existing rolling stock with no problems?

Although they look good, they are only compatible with British and Japanese N scale (1/150). They will not fit in any North American intermodal cars or chassis.

They're on my "if I ever come across them at a show" priority list. I'm on the fence about wether an intermodal yard makes the cut when I design my next layout. If it does I'm sure I'll have some in the mix.

Thanks, I knew there was a recent discussion on the Con-cur/Herpa ones, and the JP ones are perfect stand ins for background and on trailers, but was curious about the Bachmann ones.
