Any guess as to when individual containers will be up for sale? They look nice btw. I've only seen the 53s from the few sets I've ordered thus far, but they are great, and very needed. And you've done an amazing job of ensuring that only about 2 of the 6 included containers are relevant to my specific modeling era/locale. VERY efficient, you are. So as is the tradition of Z-Scale, I'll be selling and buying more. I've already sold off some, but should have another 12 or so coming up soon if anyone's interested. (see the Buy / Sale / Trade subboard in AZL Website Talk) EDIT: Meant to say, love the Maxi-IV stack cars too. They look great. I haven't had a chance to run them yet though, so the jury is still out for me at this point. But the initial assessment is good.

Thanks and so interesting! 1) what is your specific modeling era/locale? 2) I tried to pick containers that you see today / in the last 10 years. I was in Savannah a few months ago and really happy to see that we had made just about everything at the port. Same out west when I saw a BNSF intermodal rolling through Arizona. 3) try running them! I think / hope you will be happy.
