Not sure if this is the right spot for this question so if not please feel free to move it.
In the late 90's or early 2000's I recall seeing a 5 unit stack car that was carrying Maersk refrigerated containers. Nothing unusual about the containers except that they didnt have the clip on generators. Instead there was a stand alone generator set mounted in the frame of a 20 ft container in one of the cars with what was essentially heavy duty extension cords running to each reefer container. I took pictures of it somewhere (back in my film days) but I cant for the life of me find them.
Has anyone here ever seen this setup before? I tried searching google for pictures but couldnt find any that matched what I recall.
I wanted to model this in HO scale and I bought a bulktainer (for the frame) and a Life Like generator (on sale this month at Walthers) but I wanted to see pictures before I started working on it.
Anyone ever see this and happen to take a picture? I'd love to see anything you guys might have.
Thanks!!
