davefrk Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Arran, those look great and now if you can go back even further and do some LMS and early BR containers that would be even better.... well may be not this year. See you at Glasgow. All the best. Dave Franks. Coat, hat, gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cravensdmufan Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hi folks, Just looking for advice on C Rail containers please. I model 1985-1995 and just wondering which will be suitabe? I have been looking at photos on the internet and in books and it looks like the OCL, P&O, and Freightliner yellow/red 20fts and 40fts would be OK. But what about CAST Maersk and Evergreen and any others? Plus I'd like a couple of tanks. I checked the firms website but there's very little information on which eras the containers would be suitable for. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.

Hi there, I think you could pretty much use any of the containers that Arran (C Rail) produces. The only ones I wouldn't be confident about are the CMA/CGM ones (which I'm pretty sure were Ellerman and CE (Cunard Ellerman) back in those days), and EVERGREEN, which I think is a relative newcomer to the shipping scene. I was a box jockey (Driver of artic lorries carrying containers (boxes)) during the period you mention and I can remember having pretty much all of the rest on my trailer (chassis) at one time or another. Especially CAST, as the haulage company I worked for at the time also stored these containers, so our yard was always full of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for 1985 - 1995 you can get away with Evergreen as well, I recall seeing EVERGREEN boxes in the Hornby catalogue in 1993. I started for a container hauliers in 1997 and we had some CGM boxes at that time and I don't recall them being a new company. That said 10 years is a long time in the world of shipping, BELL boxes used to be everywhere and when they went pop, the boxes almost disappeared overnight. Maersk are long established although they changed their branding to Maersk Sealand in the late 90's so avoid the dual branded boxes, they would have been like the one in the picture here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/49261102@N07/16361175663/in/album-72157651245995270/ Edited March 22, 2018 by 37114 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium James Makin Posted June 3, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 3, 2018 HI All Well since everyone else is seems to be doing new models "well announcing" its that time of year when i make my mind up. =C=Rail= is going to tool up some older style 20ft containers one with advertising panels and the other with all ribs. some research is still required but thats now in hand. I hope to have first tooling samples later this year. Regards Arran Hi Arran! Good to catch up at DEMU Showcase yesterday, Given my new container addiction, as promised, I thought I'd share a few snaps of some of your containers I've tackled following recent Warley and Showcase purchases, including the Genstar 20ft one I was babbling on about, inspired by your pic in this thread above! Genstar Container by James Makin by jamesmakin2002, on Flickr A few of yours in this batch here too - Containers by James Makin by jamesmakin2002, on Flickr I've got a lot more still to get weathered though..!

I have built one using photo paper printed panels. Hi Mark, Good idea I hadn't thought of doing that. I have an old Triang Manchester Liners 30' container which I have cheered up with some light grey paint which although not correct is passable by my standards. I might put it onto the scanner and see how it turns out, a couple more would be nice. Gibbo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
