Oh I wouldn't say that:) I just waiting on some info on the chassis before I finally make my mind up on the 20ft chassis. Regards Arran

HI All The 30ft bulks come in 8ft6" up to 9ft1" and i know of the containers you have seen as well. The Bachmann 20ft really scales out at 8'9" as its the same as there 13.6m container in height. Regards Arran

HI All The Interbulk containers are 30ft and are 2550mm wide from memory. The all have hatches in the roof for top loading, these containers have been about in various guises since the mid 80s, My C Rail kits was based on an 1985 cobra built box and can still be found in all the liveries fromYellow IFF through to Interbulk. Regards Arran

HI ALL Those containers look nice "but im biased" P&O 20ft and 40ft next with the possibility of a 20ft reefer as well all with the 8 colours in the flag. Regards Arran

yip all pre orders out late last week. So this week id say Arran

HI Getting undecorated is an easy order, and you will save a few pounds come Euros. I think some how we need to organize a book or list to get orders put in but seriously if you want this to happen and its up to every one to push there mates to sighn up as well. Regards Arran

2500 pre-orders required basically. Regards Arran

Yes!!!! I have a price on it all. it could be done for the prices banded about but we need to sell at least 2500 to make it work. Regards Arran

HI All There here along with my other 40ft standard containers. Web site will be updated very soon. Regards Arran

HI All OK then, right Ive asked the question from two of the factories i use to see what the cost of this might be. i said there also has to be a large die-cast element to this as the chassis runs on its own and NEM pockets. Regards Arran

I talking of top of my head on this but i dont think id be far of the mark, the price come down to how many you right the tooling of over really. I must be worth some one doing them, if they can go under more wagons. But im no expert on Irish freight stock, but if Murphy can make locos and coaches pay then there has to be a market for wagons. Regards Arran

HI ALL What price well id say the early teens and whats your commission "satisfaction":-bd Regards Arran

Get 4000 orders then!!!! Regards Arran

HI All Interesting discussion going one here, i dont think it would cost anything near that to tool and manufacturer some wagon chassis for containers or as a rtr chassis for kits to go on, there would have to be a cast part to the chassis for weight and an NEM pockets incorpareted. Regards Arran PS the Bell 40ft containers have left the factory.

HI All Dose anyone have Pics of the Blue B+I containers that were also quite common back in the 80s on Irish railways. I've been asked by a good number of customers about this company but i have NO info on this. Regards Arran

HI All Some of the partial decorated ones i received with the bell to see if i like the colours. Regards Arran

HI All I would say Feb some time as the tooling is now good for go. Also in the same batch will be MSC,Maersk Old "silver" and Hamburgs sud. I will keep you all posted. Regards Arran

Yes drop me an email through the C RAIL INTERMODAL website and you will go on the list. Regards Arran

HI All As promised the sample of the 40ft Bell arrived today. Regards Arran

HI I will look into that as theres time to change yet, as its only the sample im getting, ive come across a few differences on the look myself especially on the ends. The only comment i would have on what you are showing is the middle leg of the E being as thick as the top and bottom my info says that should be narrower. Some times you can look at things till your blue in the face and not spot the mistake as i see what i want to see. Regards Arran

http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/CRail-Intermodal/248366188521067 HI All Come over and have a look if your at the Warley show as you can see all the kits transfers and paints forcontainers on the Realtrack models stand. Regards Arran

HI All An image of the artwork for the 40ft bell. Regards Arran

HI YOu wont find any Bells Yet as im try to findout whether its worth doing a sheet with them on,i need to get sell at least 150 of them to make it worth while. Regards Arran

HI All Got to http://www.c-rail-intermodal.co.uk/ into the OO kits and transfers and you will see the 30ft Bulktainers and transfers,there is a new current sheet with Interbulk and Bertschi on. Have a look and see what you think. Regards Arran

HI ALL All being well i will have a sample of the 40ft Bell on the Realtrack stand at warley, but i will post pics here as well. http://wjriding.webs.com/thebeast.htm Also the 30ft Bulk container is something i have as a kit, i have enough info to do a set of transfers for that as well as the paint specs. The question is is there enough people to sell at least 150 set of transfers to do the run to make it worth while. Regards Arran
