Learn how to build a standard 6×16 LEGO shipping container for your LEGO trains and cargo depots. These compatible MOCs are perfect for the Maersk train and beyond!

A tutorial to make a simple LEGO Train Shipping Container as featured in my previous LEGO Train Cargo MOC Video.

Download the LEGO Train Container Moc parts list. You can load this into Bricklink as a Wanted list. This is for a basic white container but you can change the colour however you want.

If you need help importing the parts list, check out this video about importing lists into Bricklink.com:

These containers are 6×16 studs and are compatible with the LEGO Maersk Train 10219.

About this LEGO Video

This container was designed to compliment the containers that come with the 60052 LEGO City Cargo Train (one of my favourite trains). That has containers that are 6×8 in size and these are 6×16 studs. This design should work with with the Maersk train as well. Let me know if you try it.

Custom LEGO Train Shipping Container FAQs

“What is the standard size for LEGO shipping containers?”

These are 6×16, making them compatible with Maersk and City train sets.

“Where can I find the parts list for this LEGO MOC?”

I’ve provided an XML file link in the description for easy BrickLink ordering.
For help importing lists into Bricklink.com, checkout my Bricklink Import tutorial

“Can I change the color of the containers?”

Absolutely! The structure works in any color; just swap the panels and plates. You can even use standard LEGO bricks if you want!

“How do the doors stay closed?”

I use a clip and bar mechanism that mimics real-life locking bars plus a bit of LEGO friction.

“Are these containers stackable?”

Yes, they use a stud-on-top design for secure stacking in your cargo yard.
