New Container Decorations

Recommended Posts

Hi chaps,

 

This really falls outside the 3 main announcements this weekend, so i'll post them here.

 

We have some new OO gauge container decorations we are awaiting from China,

 

they are;

 

20ft

Bell, Maersk (3 different deco variations), NYK logistics, Xines, Hamburg SUD, P&O

 

40ft

Bell, P&O, Evergreen, Hapag Loyd, Hyundai, APL, NYK

 

45ft

Tesco/Less Co2 (new style for Crewe-Cardiff service), Malcolm Logistics

 

No 45ft high cubes for a while though, sorry.

 

Should have them for sale around DEMU, with N gauge a few months after.

cheers

20ft NYK, 40ft High Cube Maersk, Evergreen, Hapag Lloyd, Hyundai, and APL are already available from the great =C=Rail= and Realtrack Models sites: http://www.c-rail-intermodal.co.uk/

 

Is Dapol planning a different vairiation to =C=Rail=s liveries?

 

Certainly be having myself some P&Os though! Hornby's ones are the wrong colour!

 

See you in Alexandra Palace for a good discussion!

Hi Smg,

 

Whilst i realise that competitors make containers and also either have produced or are producing similar liveries, this will never preclude Dapol from producing containers. We currently sell out of 90% of all containers we make within 5 days of them going on sale, or even at pre-order so ther's a market for us all i believe.

 

You buying at Ally Pally then? mines a fizzy water (dont laugh)

cheers

Hi Dave, looks like a good list with a lot of much requested names present - are they due to be sold as singles or twin-packs like before?

 

Ref the Evergreen 40' - have you changed the colour from the first run one? If it's the standard one in a sensible colour i'll be up for that plus maybe another one or two on the list.

 

Thanks for what you do.

Thanks for the prompt reply Dave

 

Which looks like a sarcastic reply to me. Dave may not have seen the question but the sensible thing to have done would have been to contact a Dapol stockist and make arrangements to purchase.

Hi Dave

DEMU has come and gone

Any news on the 20' & 40' Bells?

I heard that Charlie Petty of DC Kits may also be releasing Bells

Any truth in the rumour?

His guys,

 

Before this thread gets hijacked 'from' a Dapol one, I can clear this up easily.

There was a delay in the Bell containers due to there being no paint records available to us, so we guessed.........incorrectly as it turns out and couldnt get them correct.

 

Then about a week before I went on holiday a nice Irish gentleman came to my rescue with the B.S. numbers for the 2 ain't colours, so all is now 'go' on this project and the containers are currently in the production schedule for around years end.

 

Sorry about the delay

Cheers

Dave
