Shipping Containers Add Realism To Model Railroads
A quick look around any real railroad or port will show a range of shipping containers stacked on trains, in yards, on ships, and on wharves. They will probably vary greatly in appearance as some will be reasonably new and others will be old and rusty perhaps with scrapes, dents, and even graffiti plastered all over them.
You might even spot some old shipping containers used to store goods on an industrial site or on a farm. This is because old shipping containers are relatively inexpensive to buy, they can be made very secure, and they are very easily modified (inside). That is why is can be an excellent idea to include scaled down shipping containers on a model railroad layout. They will add character and realism to any scene.
This short video shows the easy way to make model shipping containers that look extremely real. After downloading the PDF file you can print out any number you require.

I have even seen plans to turn shipping containers into home with multiple containers joined or cabins with just one container.
