Re: FORKLIFT CONTAINERS
Looks cool. I like these container handlers. They are pretty neat machines to watch. Actually the intermodal yards they work in a perfect for anyone who has an interest in trains, big ships, semi-trucks, and the container handling equipment.

That's for sure! Good point Nate. The only container yard near me is the CSX yard in Collinwood. Good size but it's tough to get anywhere real close to watch the containers being shuffled. Plenty of areas to wTch the trains roll in and out though, but it's in the heart of East Cleveland. Which is a pretty sketchy area to be hanging around.. Cool container handler! Keep up the nice work.

Re: FORKLIFT CONTAINERS
another option is on ebay there is guys selling replacement string for old tonkas etc. its a bit thicker though. fishing line would get you the most wraps per spool.
