What is the actual scale of the 10152? I did a search but most posts discuss "mini" or "micro" scale. I realize the actual scale will have the "Lego" deviation. Also was the set based on an actual Maersk vessel? I was looking here: (URL) but I (...) (20 years ago, 16-Jul-04, to lugnet.boats)

(...) Well, this is the hard place! (URL) This container is 40ft x 8ft x 9ft6in high, the size I see on lorries in the UK, built to 8mm:1ft scale. You could drive a model of a 5ft wide fork lift truck into it or two minifigures could walk in side by (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jun-04, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Not really if you model a European railway... Before the standard 20/30/40' containers the Dutch, German and most likely some other railways experimented with door-to-door transport using special freight boxes, which were around 1.5*2*1.5m A (...)

(...) Agreed. This is a known issue with the standard (as designed by LEGO) minifig scale container, it's too small. We're stuck between a rock and a hard place though, either we abandon the design (and lose compatability and not have a use for all (...)

Hi Robin, Great ship! I really your bigger version. And the tug is a nice touch as well. I work on the waterfront in northwestern washington state. So I see tugs and large freighters every day. I just have a couple of comments. The ship itself is (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.boats, FTX)

(...) Robin, Like the ship--I've been working on my own with parts from three Maersk ships, a republic gunship and a RBR. I just finished it last week--it's on the NGLTC summer layout now, and it's 24 studs wide by 45 inches long. The top of the (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jun-04, to lugnet.boats, FTX)
