Ben04uk Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 just wondering when the 3 Freightliner container liveries below were in use? would they have been seen on the same train? IMG_4215.JPG Thanks in advance. Does anyone know the Hornby product codes for the grey one in the middle with the British Rail logo? The white one on the right is R633 I believe.

Rivercider Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Does anyone know the Hornby product codes for the grey one in the middle with the British Rail logo? The white one on the right is R633 I believe. The Hornby code R633 is for a Freightliner flat loaded with 3 x 20ft boxes, it was in production from 1967 - 1982 the livery of the boxes seems to have changed, early versions are as the middle one in the photo, in 1970 two versions seem to have been issued one in each style of livery, later issues are as the one on the right. I picked up a couple of single containers at a second hand stall at an exhibition earlier this year for 2 or 3 pounds each one of each livery though one box is numbered 05B71 not as per the photo, they are moulded in slightly different colours, the later version is lighter grey. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardTPM Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) The original Freightliner logo appears to have been the word Freightliner to the right of the old "door to door" logo, although there was also a door to door logo with "liner train" to its right. The caption says that was in bauxite and yellow. I painted this Lima N Gauge container like the ones shown on the cover of a 1964 'Transport Age' magazine. The colours were silver with yellow and blue stripes, incorporating the Rail freight box symbol. Edited December 26, 2017 by BernardTPM 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lekkie lad Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Got 3 of the 20 footers in the red, red/white and the red/yellow plus a 40 footer too today at DEMU. Does anyone have details of the numbering scheme for the red/white containers please? I also have 3x 20 footers and want to alter the numbers on two of them. I've looked through various photo sites without luck. Was there any logic to the numbering either side of the letter? Ian S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardTPM Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) I was watching 'Engines must not enter the pototo sidings' on iPlayer last night and noticed a TK tractor which appeared to be* in the grey/red striped livery to match the containers. Don't think I've seen that elsewhere, even though I do have a number of '60s Freightliner leaflets/booklets (Good old 'Collector's corner'!). * the documentary is monochrome Edited June 20, 2017 by BernardTPM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Delamar Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 One of my favourite artworks from the RS602 set, even though Hymeks couldnt work Freightliners as they never had air brakes. Does anyone know who done the artwork? Looks like Cuneo? I looked the picture up to see if it had a freightliner container pictured but it has others. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
