47475 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Definitely hoping for these in N later, as there were plenty in the trains I would like to model from the 1980s. Fingers crossed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if a fair way into the future, it would still be great to see some of these style ones, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI Yes they are , the Bachman ones are the original Freightliner build , while ours are not . Ours are a deep sea container , i'm not sure where the difference between Freightliner and Freightliners limited came from so that story may would be of interest.

I think it's mainly to do with corporate history. The early ones were all labelled Freightliner. My understanding of events and I'm certainly open to correction on this was that metal containers on bogie wagons and associated handling were introduced as a new idea (well, new to the UK transport industry at the time), basically as a more modern successor to the Condor with its wooden containers designed to fit a standard conflat and used by the railways and industry generally, and that the word was coined as a marketing term by BR, which seems to have caught on as a generic term like Hoover for a vacuum cleaner. At some point the politicians decided to separate this business off into a company, which took the name Freighliners Limited (because it was now a limited company). I think it was still wholly owned by BR at this time, but obviously an easy choice when they were looking for things to privatise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightliner was transfered from BR ownership to the newly created National Freight Corporation and became a limited company in 1969 (still government owned) 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
