I know of one, there might be more. Would be nice to see a full set but I think the price point might push too high for the market.

That can be mass produced at a good cost with the Inkjet printing that Micro Trains uses. Though I doubt they want to share one of the things that really puts them ahead of everyone else in their niche.

  Thanks for the participation, voting, and comments. We'll combine with some other results from sources and consider the implications. JTC does consider containers, trailers, Intermodal related items, etc. to be 'models' afforded the same review for details as any other model railroad 'rolling stock'. I think that we 'get the drift'. Our market has been small (N Scale Intermodal), compared to other companies that have a much broader product offering, however, that focus has enabled a great variety of accurately detailed models, in tooling and in decorations.  The input and Support from Modelers is very much appreciated.
