HI All Manchester liners went bust in 1985 and their routs taken over by OOCL i think so logically mid to early 90s for the containers becoming extinct . The MSC brown with the sand MSC have been around a while so last 10 years i think. ICL have been about a good while and that container ive done was made in April 2015 . Regards Arran

HI All The next OO containers almost ready to go into production. first is Manchester lines 20ft x 8'6" so thats early 80s onwards . Then we have two more 40ft hc bryboxs in Brown MSC as these are becoming more common and ICL which have been getting requested quite a bit. Regards Arran

HI All Samskip were Geest the Banana people who patented the angled pillars at the non door end so you could fit the 45ft container in the maximum turning circle . The Oxford offering is a TESCO 45ft curtain sided container at 8'6" high but ive never seen one in samskip livery . Regards Arran

You get ASDA as well and Those ones are 8'9" more for the Aberdeen leg . you can see these in odd places

HI All Even WSI who i think is the model pic have printed all that over a std 20ft container with all those prints in the wrong place . I've only seen those on lorry's over in the UK but that's not to say they never have been on rail. whats the load ? Regards Arran

HI All Nedloyd lines were about from the late 70s through to 1990 then the merged with P&O but like all fallen flags the boxs live on till they die . The Hornby containers for livery are ok "some dodgy colours and the rib profile is mince " and they miss of the roof numbers , have moulded on locking bars and are more expensive the C RAIL , their tanks are very nice and are basses on one got info of at Felixstowe. More OO this year and Nedlloyd is on the old style 20ft list of to do models . Regards Arran
