OK I decided to go ahead and make a NELUG container... http://www.nelug.org/container/nelugcont.jpg I think thats what your looking for. I used an Avery clear shipping label for the decal and it looks OK. I still have to build a car and I also want to try this in Gray to see what it looks like. Let me know if this looks satisfactory or not. I don't have much in the way of train stuff so for the top I had to use tiles and plates instead of the special 4x8 tile/plate hybrid part. It is also solid all the way around. No doors. Eric Kingsley The New England LEGO Users Group http://www.nelug.org/ View My Creations at: http://www.nelug.org/members/kingsley/
