    Note that there are two distinct types of WP&Y containers, the original ~8′ cubical containers that were normally chained down three to a car, and the ~24′ long ISO type containers that replaced the cubes in the latter 1960s. Each of the two general types came in several sub-variations corresponding to the intended commodity, but the differences were not great, mostly a matter of paint and lettering. Examples of three sub-types of cube containers are preserved at the Skagway museum.

      John, Thank you for the additional information. I am still locating drawings for this project, and as such the exact style(s) modeled will depend on what resources I am able to locate.
