Hello space-a-rinos,
I don’t know if a final standard for moonbase containers has been figured out,
but here is my humble attempt at a solution.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=85105
It’s smaller than other’s I’ve seen and less part intensive (for trading you
could make one out of slopes and bricks that looks the part). It can be
customized easliy at the points where greeblies/computer tiles are. It has
plenty of room for stickers. It can be expanded by 4 studs for larger
container. Most importantly, it fits inside the cooridors. I do know it’s not
“dockable” with anything (although I think a clamp could be made to grab it on
the handles.)
Whatcha think?

I think it can coexist with the 8x16 corridor sized containers too: large containers could easily carry the little ones (2 to a standard container, or 1 to a half-sized container), and the little containers would be more useful for (...)

| Even though I rarely start threads on Lugnet, I thought this topic is ripe for discussion. We've seen from the recent thread, (URL) gives space a whirl, that there seems to be some interest in a Space Cargo Container Standard. Drawing on the above (...) (20 years ago, 25-Mar-04, to lugnet.space)
