Fat Controller Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Can anyone please confirm if Euro Freight is an actual company or did Dapol simply invent this company for one of their N gauge 20ft containers. Euro Freight.png There seem to be several different companies called 'Eurofreight'. One is a freight forwarder in the Midlands, who don't offer a rail service, another is a shipping company in Cyprus, who might operate containers. It's the sort of name that might appear on containers, but it could be that Dapol have chosen it as a generic name where they don't have to pay a licence fee as they might if they modelled a documented prototype.

That's a good point about not having to pay a licence fee, so may be the case. Dapol also released a white container with the company name 'American Lines' which included the flag of the U.S.A, however I cannot find any photos online of either of these containers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
