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
stud each. It made them look funny in my eyes, but I doubt anyone else really
noticed. I can't wait to photograph them in all of their *prototypical*
glory:-)
