The only things I have seen is a system of holes in corner pocket squares which accept short, wide prongs on other containers, and that essentially, the weight keeps them all aligned.

Since I have 5 intermodal cars (two of which have the yet to be resolved coupler problem), I would like to know what would be the appropriate modules to use (e.g. size 20, 40, 50ft) and can they be double stacked and if so how are they connected since I don't see any mechanism to do that on the current modules that I have. Also are there any company references or procedures on the web on how they handle the modules (I don't mean something like Long Beach or something huge on the East Coast but maybe something for a small city). Also has anyone seen any supporting kits for processing modules at the source and destinations (e.g. S scale or kitbashed from other scales). I have seen some HO and O guage stuff but was wondering if anyone had tried it out for S. It might be interesting to set up an operating layout whose goals are to move cars and containers between facilities.
