Each set will come with six containers.  The 53' containers are the first time AZL has offered corrugated type containers in this length. The 40' containers are a rerelease with new tooling as well. AZL plans to offer a mix of containers from discount stores, online stores, overnight delivery services, shipping companies, moving companies and railroads.

Nice looking cars.   Despite my migration back toward N as my primary scale, I am picking up a few of these.

The assortment of containers is painful though.  I know you can't get it perfect for everyone, but there are some things you could have done era-wise, railroad-wise, and shipping company-wise that might have made a little more sense.   Guessing that ship has sailed for this run, but if you ever do another one I'd be happy to help advise.
