Satan's Goldfish Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hornby KFA OO scale http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Hornby+kfa&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=LsgYU7elMqmM7AaRk4HwCA&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAA&biw=1024&bih=600 1980s - present day A very useful model from Hornby, the flat wagon comes loaded with a 40ft dry box and either a 20ft dry box or tank-tainer. A large variety of container liveries are now available for these however the square ribbed style of the boxes is more suitable to older boxes than the modern corrugated designs.

Satan's Goldfish Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Bachmann FIA pair OO scale http://www.google.co.uk/search?biw=1024&bih=84&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=RcsYU7KlJOrG7Aab44GICQ&q=Bachmann+intermodal&oq=Bachmann+intermodal&gs_l=img.12..0i24l2.11666.17708.0.18971.15.9.0.5.5.0.329.1455.0j5j2j1.8.0....0...1c.1.37.img..2.13.1572.WPcotPoYeoU Originally built for international services through the channel tunnel, now also used on domestic services. The model comes loaded with either 45' or 2x 20' boxes on each wagon, with all boxes being a scale 8'9" high. This is ok for some of the 45s but a little too high for the 20s, however on their own it's not very noticable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan's Goldfish Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Genesis Kits KAA OO scale white metal kit http://pluto.servers.rbl-mer.misp.co.uk/~torqueoc/genesiskits.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=85&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3 I once found an O scale model of these too but can't locate it at the moment. Originally built to carry cement trailers for the construction of Heathrow's terminal 5, after that they were used for standard containers. I believe these wagons have now moved over to the continent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious NSE Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 http://www.tl-modellbau.de/en/TL-Decals-1-87/Container-Decals-1-87/ TL Decal is a German manufacturer that has a nice range of HO scale container decals, some good ones here for North American or European HO modellers, and for schemes where a OO equivalent isn't available (check the C-Rail range first) they don't look too bad used on OO!

trisonic Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 So glad to see some MSC decals on that site, Martyn. The growth of MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) has been explosive in the NYNJPort Authority area. Btw it's been great to see the interest in Intermodal Operations - this section has been a long time overdue...... Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious NSE Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 http://www.microscale.com/ also do a large number of intermodally relevant decals aimed at US HO, N and O, modellers, some of their older sets cover some 70s/80s container operators so might also be useful for period BR modellers? Examples (these are all HO sets): http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=87-298 http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=87-311 http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=87-766 http://www.microscale.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=87-312 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious NSE Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Found this Aussie company earlier today, again HO scale, but it might give 1970s/80s modellers some more useful logo decals:http://www.grdecals.com.au/page80.htmlCACT is a really useful one in particular, but some of the others appeared on UK rails also. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going2theDogs Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Hi All, I recently ran a rake of weathered Hornby KFA's (along with some other container traffic). Up front was a Bachmann class 47 in the original Railfreight Distribution livery. I thought I would share here. Enjoy.

martin_l_jones Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Many years ago, Dapol released a raft of 20' and 40' containers in a twin pack.

I think i ended up with a dozen of those Stobart containers, all individually numbered. I suspect they're bit too modern and the wrong area for where and when i model, but rule 1 and all that!

Mol_PMB Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Readers of this part of the forum will know that I've been scratchbuilding some 7mm scale containers from the early 1960s recently. I have plans to do some more. But I'm wondering if there are any suitable RTP or kit products out there that could populate my container stack a bit more quickly? I'm really struggling to find anything suitable! Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for containers in 7mm:ft or 1:43. Not 1:50, 1:48 or 1:45. They may look OK but put them next to a 7mm scale one and they're obviously the wrong size! Ideally I'm looking for early ISO containers suitable for the late 1960s or early 1970s period. Predominantly 20'x8'x8' boxes, ribbed or flush sided, or more exotic types. Are there any available? I'm aware of the Buzz Models range which I think are the right scale, but of more modern corrugated-sde containers. I could tolerate 20'x8'x8'6" high though it would not be my first preference. This one I think is 8'6" and seems to be generally available from Eastern Europe and Russia, often on the back of a truck. Postage costs and import duties may make them an expensive option but they look quite good and of a suitable earlier ribbed style: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125020006628 or https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161988237215 Any links or ideas welcome!

g_m_h_redwood Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Hi everyone. Looking to model an anglo-scottish freightliner service using a pair of 90s, was just wondering if anyone knew if FLA wagons were used on these services. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Controller Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 On 10/07/2022 at 13:22, Mike Storey said: Very interesting, thanks. I had no idea Transfesa made wagons for Interfrigo! I wonder what and where the latter wagons were used for? They'd have been in a pool with other Interfrigo vans, so everything from fresh fruit to offal.
