Boxes, crates, etc.

I'll be moving on to scenicing the city portion of my layout soon.  I was perusing my trusty 2007 Walthers catalog and found many crate, box, sack, etc.  type details from Cal-Scale and Period Miniatures that I can use on various freight platforms and loading docks.  It's only after I looked online that I realize these are not available any longer.  Bummer.  What are my options for these types of details now?  What other manufacturers make this stuff?  I want my loading docks to have plenty of freight piled on them.

Thanks,
Erik

Also Eric remember if a supplier or internet hobby shop lists these, it doesn't mean they
have them. Go direct to the vendor. I never recieved a healthy order of detail parts
from BLMA last year from an internet store. Walthers doesn't mean they have them
either. Find an LHS that has pegboard hooks full of these and your good to go.
