I managed to get a cheap Inter model car that was really beat up that working to rehab. It had lost some of its walk way panels which I was able to get parts for but Charles Ro did not send any pins to hold them in place. Anyone who has these cars, have you been able to find something to use as replacement pins to hold the walkways on?

Pics and specs of the holes that the pins are missing from with these cars?
Joseph,
Flat head garment pins that can be obtained at a sewing or craft store can serve as a replacement.
If interested, several things done to the Intermodal car can be seen in “vignette” (article) hosted for me by Greg E. on his website, title:

Ted Thank you.
Has anyone found replacement pins that hold the containers in place. Asking for a friend…(https://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif)
Check with RLD. He still shows them listed.
