I wanted to make a simple and easily reproducible container flat wagon which could be built "in bulk". I also wanted the wagons to be durable and robust as well as efficient with parts.
Shown above is my representation of a British Rail FGA container flat wagon. The core of the model is built with Technic lift arms (1x15 and 1x11). This makes the model very durable as well as being a passable representation of steel frame elements of the real thing. Containers attach via 2x2 plates with centre studs with slight overhang lip similar to the real FGA.
This version depicts early versions of the wagon in British Rail blue which looks quite attractive in Lego dark blue. Later versions of this wagon were repainted in EWS maroon and freightliner green. However, most examples were simply neglected with faded colours and rust!
The Swiss Post containers being returned from Ostermundigen to Harkingen [50816] were in the care of SBB Cargo 11252 when recorded at Egerkingen in April 2016.

Ship of the desert! An enormous (unidentified) Maersk Line container ship heads a southbound convoy of ships through the recently duelled 22miles of the Suez Canal
This container is particularly useful as it provides a home for spare tyres as well as smaller sundry items.

I built the Mercedes Actros, in the livery of Dutch heavy haulage and crane company "Mammoet" to carry a wheel loader on its stepframe trailer, but I've seen plenty of pictures of similar vehicles carrying 20ft containers. The trucks are used to haul equipment to building sites, with smaller stuff stored in containers. My DAF XF105 carries a 40ft refrigerated container in this picture.
The decision to build Class 66 locomotives almost obliges me to build things they can pull! The mainstay of their freight traffic duties are containers. Therefore, I've been sliding very rapidly down the slippery slope of building Lego 20ft ISO shipping containers. The obsession of figuring out how many different container liveries are possible using the Lego 1x6x5 corrugated panel element becomes more than unhealthy! Shipping containers need wagons, and thus I've made a simple and easily reproducible rendition of the British Rail FGA con-flat wagon. 11x wagons (and counting!)

Having had to head to Washwood Heath to run round due to a problem at Water Orton West Junction, the load on 4S57 Hams Hall to Mossend, a measly 7 containers, was on the rear when 66302 led the train past Lindrosa Road.

Opened in 1971, the Seaforth Dock site in the Port of Liverpool occupies about 500 acres, of which 85 acres is water. The dock was the largest built in the United Kingdom for some time, with 10,000 ft (3,000 m) of quay and a depth of 50 ft. A large part of the dock is dedicated to container traffic and these are four of the eight cranes used for containers.
