Pallet size boxes , aka Gaylord boxes .
I could find more than 100 useful . Could be Shapeways  or pre cut cardboard  . I like the octagonal more than the rectangle but grubbers can't be choosers . I really can make do without the lids .

Are you looking for actual size to store stuff in or something that would be available as a scale model?
I'd need about a dozen of the actual size ones to clear out the crap in my garage, then a fork lift to move them back to the firepit!

Good candidate to include in my Freight Details set along side IBCs, pallets, and other bins; I like it!  That will take all of 8 minutes to model up then start a few print tests.  8)

What else does everyone got?   :D

You see these at supermarkets holding watermelons, and pumpkins, in the Fall.

"What else does everyone got?"

Watermelons and pumpkins to fit the Gaylords?

Trivia:  I had seen the boxes, but never heard the term "Gaylord" until I started working at the auto filter factory.  Nobody there knew where the name came from, only that "everybody calls them that".  I Googled it, naturally.  The "Gaylord Cardboard Container Company" invented the triple-walled cardboard box MANY years ago.

Art Deco boxcar ends. I don’t know they they would sell well because they were not that common, but I would buy a couple of sets anyway.

Not sure any scenic detail would sell well enough to make, unless a small shapeways firm using 3D printing can make it cheap enough.  And if it does come out, buy it now, because I doubt there will be second runs.

Maybe MT will bring out a series of Erte boxcars in 2045, after they run out of Thomas Kincaids. 

Humor aside, I know that C&O had an "art deco" end- did other railroads use the same end or something similar? 
Such a car is available in HO for only $259-

I have a mind like a steel trap...a VERY rusty, old steel trap.
