I saw that.

To see some prototypes, go to
http://www.matts-place.com/intermodal/part1/refrig.htm
and scroll down to
40'x8'x9.5' REEFERS and have a look.  I've had a little communication with 
the manufacturer however, and it is not totally encouraging.  He said

quote
We are producing several orders for container companies, both dry and 
temperature controlled. At this point I don't have a solid answer on which 
ones will be for internal release only or available for resale as well.  We 
are producing several blank dry containers in a variety of colors that will 
all be available for resale through the hobby market.  As we get closer to 
the end of the year I'll have a better idea what container companies will be 
available for resale.
endquote.

I think realistic decorated containers would do a lot better than his 
"blanks," but I suspect we 1/64 model railroaders are an insignificant part 
of the die-cast market.  Though it won't hurt to try to let him know what we 
want.
