I saw some of these vert-a-paks at a train show and they are really big! They are pretty cool, but unfortanently no one uses them anymore, so I have no need for them.

They were built to haul only one type of car CHEVY VEGA'S The first car were built in 1969 and were built into the early 70's. There was a huge discussion about them on the atlas forum giving a complete history. Exactrail is supposed to be adding historical information to their site, I would check their site in a few weeks.
