HI All

Its time to get my backside in gear if i am to have any hope of getting next container liveries by the N Gauge show in September.

Decided so for are !!!

Maersk 40ft HC in the new Blue livery " i've been getting pestered for this"
Maersk 40ft HC reefer "with e thermoking reefer unit"
ONE    40ft HC reefer  "with a Daikin reefer unit"
MSC 40ft HC in the Brown with gold Logo
MSC 20ft in the Sand colour

So i still need another 20ft and a tank !!!
We were thinking Tex 20ft and a Suttons tank but im open to suggestions

Regards Arran
   

1980s OCL blue please:

The same period same some nondescript green boxes too - like the incotrans above and below.

I'm sure I've seen a 20' with Evergreen branding, but with the text running top to bottom on the left hand end of the box.

Tanktainer? Tate and Lyle?

I have a sneaky feeling the 20ft OCL is already in the pipeline. 

Possibly the ones with the vertical "cti" lettering on?  They seem to pop up frequently in the Paul Shannon books of the 80s era.

CTI boxes were on  the first Freightliner train I saw, probably in the late 60s.
OCL seems really popular on here, so I'll add my name for them, plus Ben Ellerman to represent the Southampton-Barking service on the 70s.

Would definitely buy both OCL and CTI containers.

Actually, I'd buy anything suitable for the 1980s ...

Tanktainer-Liquid Air?

Carried helium inside nitrogen insulation/ sacrificial coolant inside glass fibre insulation. US to Europe, including Felixstowe.

Only remember carrying one other tanktainer westbound to US, possibly Suttons heated type but it was over 40 years ago...

ISO containers are too late for my modelling, but I well remember the Hornby red Manchester Liner ones, and carried loads of them on Montreal service.

Later thought- Stolt tanktainer? I think they are rail hauled in UK.

I think 20 footers provide the opportunity for oddball rarities. I'd buy a dozen of any of:

Containerships

Cronos Containers

Balearia Cargo

Pretty sure Arran's already done a Stolt tanktainer.

I will have one of everything proposed! No suggestions on the other gaps. Tex 20' would be good, or maybe TAL in brown with the red Transamerica Leasing building logo.
