Could be because it is just off of the golden mean: 3:2

   6x12 would match the old ones better but I’d be more inclined to 6x14 or 6x16. 6x10 just looks nothing like a real container (half or full).

Speaking of the containers-- is that a new element on them; a 1x5x6 thin wall-type thing?

Could well be. Also looks like a new bigger boat hull - AFAIK the largest to date is this (besides the Belville one), and this looks considerably larger than that - at least 16 wide, and by my count at least 70 long.

(...) That's very interesting I've had the genus of a boat idea for a while now, which could now amount to something. Would require two hulls though. Steve (18 years ago, 24-Dec-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
