Ah, my subtle ribbing sense is tingling!  It's true that the containers needed
to be modified to run on the GMLTC layout.  Not only did we have to raise the
trucks a plate, but we had to move the cars off of the articulate trucks by 1

noticed.  I can't wait to photograph them in all of their *prototypical*
glory:-)
