Hi:

I just received one of the SHS containers and a Gunderson "Well" 
car.  
The well car is exactly the same as those I have purchased in the 
past, 
except for the couplers.  The Container is die cast metal, so it is 
rather heavy, but very nicely done, and the trailer is excellent as 
well.  

The only problem I see is that the container does not fit snugly 
in the well car.  It can move side to side and forward and backward, 
which will potentially be a problem and may cause a derailment.  It 
probably will be necessary to put something in along side it to keep 
it 
from shifting around on curves.  Also, due to the weight, two stacked 
containers will be rather top heavy and might be a problem too. 

I am currently using plastic containers, which fit nicely and are 
light 
weight so there haven't been any derailment issues.

My next step will be to find some nice decals to put on the container.
