More Kato 40' Containers?

While looking through the Kato parts pages for something else, I notice these....I'm guessing they will be announced with more Maxi-I stack cars in the future. Nice to see some more container variety with a budget price tag.
I wonder what schemes/ base colors these would be. Any guesses?

If I had to guess, see photos below.

I'm as excited about these as my son is about the ONE boxes!

Nice! You can never have too many intermodal operations on your layout.  :D

That's hilarious, I just ordered a sample of MSC and China shipping off of Evemodel on ebay.    Really hoping that colors are more accurate than what's been produced, andmaybe the Kato willbe a good match.  Got some Athearn China shipping that looked good in a pic someone posted on this forum and then they didn't look so accurate in person.   I would totally buy more Maxi-Is with these boxes.

Justin, I think those are the ones I'm most familiar with seeing.
The ONEs should be showing up soon.

Thanks for making these happen :-)

I'd like to see a side by side comparison of the Athearn and Kato 40ft containers.
Hard to beat the Katos on price.
