Soviet 20 foot container

In another topic, someone commented on "made-in-the-Soviet-Union" models.  Anyone have any idea where I'd find a container like this one in N scale?


Genuine "made-in-the-Soviet-Union", and in an American train.

Maybe you can get someone to 3D print that.  I don't think any existing model is comparable, especially on the height.

Very interesting prototype.

That's what I thought.  Not only is it lower than most, but the combination of wide-spaced ribbed sides, narrow-spaced wide-ribbed ends and corrugated roof seems a little unusual.  And I don't have the slightest idea what the door end looks like!

Unless someone volunteers to create it, it will probably remain unmodeled.  I don't have the skills, or software to design it, even if I did know what the other end was like.  Of course, I doubt that anyone ELSE knows what it looked like, so a standard door design would probably be fine.
