RedRich Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks for that link Fran, they look great. Anything that Arran has produced in the C-rail stable has always been of excellent quality. Since he has formed the company with Charlie Petty they have produced some beautiful models. I believe Dapol are going to produce a Bell container also.

These models have correct numbering positions and fonts and will be available from DC kits & C-Rail Intermodal in the UK Edited August 21, 2012 by charlie petty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leslie10646 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Charlie / Arran - your containers look excellent - well done. As for the 20 ft flats - Provincial Wagons plans a version of the 20ft skeleton flat that CIE built for this traffic. It isn't planned to be an absolute scale model, but an insert which will go into an existing Dapol chassis - we will supply them RTR, painted and numbered. I'll keep you all up to date with progress. However, I have "My Man" working hard on another two GNR wagons first - sorry but I can't see beyond 1958 where my own layout is concerned (mind you, I do have these Murphy diesels and need something for them to pull!). Charlie - the RPSI has a CIE "Orange" container out the back of the engine shed at Whitehead. They seem to have been everywhere in the '60s, so you know what to do to make a lot more guys happy! Keep up the good work. Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Don't forget the 10ft CIÉ Uniload containers either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steventrain Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have three 4851 H0 scale Marklin BELL containers (production between 1995 and 1997). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Is the Bell "Bulk" livery planned at all in the 40ft variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOGUL Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Would Bell bulk not have used 30ft bulktainers with roof hatches? Seem to be more popular for bulky loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenderg Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Would Bell bulk not have used 30ft bulktainers with roof hatches? Seem to be more popular for bulky loads. aH! That makes sense! I thought the photo I had was oddly compressed, didn't think such a 30ft oddity existed. You learn something new every day.

MOGUL Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yeah there pretty common, if you look at videos of the DFDS a lot of them carried 30ft UBC/IBC bulktainers which as best I can find out carried asbestos mixed with peat from the former Asahi plant in Ballina.

BosKonay Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Dapol have confirmed they had delays with their Bells but expect to have 20 and 40 foot variants on the shelves for year end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any photos of the Dapol Bells, I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
