DJ Dangerous Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Looking at Dapol's CMA-CGM 40' 9'6" HC and the print is not as bad as other recent Dapol boxes. Side by side with a C-Rail Eco container, and there's no comparison, but they're not as bad as the Rainbow Maersks, the MOL's, the ONE's etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Finally got around to gluing some locking bars on last night. Drilled the holes in the other Eucons out to 1mm, too, and will fit locking bars later. Kitchen worktop has been filling up with 45' containers lately, mainly from DaFuzz, so have to get cracking on clearing them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Damn, cutting these locking bars off the sprues is painstaking! Also lost one of the silver warning panels for a Eucon so cut a little square out of the foil from the blister of a pack of tabslets. Used too much glue, expected a lot less to drop off, but aside from over-gluing, I don't think you'd notice as they're rolling by on IRM 47' 9" Flats, or whatever the exact length is. Enter some "You never know" and "We have several exciting things up our sleeves" trolling from @BosKonay.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 And that's enough glue for now. Any more and I'll be out of my head. While gluing the locking bars on, I also attacked a few other jobs - unscrewed the coal load from a Dapol A001 open and glued it back together, fixed a snapped locking bar on the Evergreen box, fixed the steps on the Merc as they were loose in the box, and re-glued some of the bars from the other day. I went with a "less is more" approach to the glue last time. Today was a "more is less" day. More glue today means less heartache tomorrow. I'm sure they'll be weathered when I retire anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOGUL Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) We aren't half asking for much, only 3 new toolings in 4 posts! My contribution: DANA tank, a 2000-current classic, and it can use Arran's existing tank tooling(tank on the right).. Although the tank on the left seems to make up most of the DANA fleet used to/from Cork https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/5739804618/in/album-72157626638886303/ Murphy Transport 20ft tanks, nice one for the XPO liner and a sound bunch of lads: OOCL, Hanjin or Yang Ming 40ft 8.6/standard boxes, for 90s early 2000s liners.. The older Livery YM box is particularly good for Limerick Liners And some CIE ones 20ft Whiskey tank And finally(not asking for much), some more 40fts reefers, main a plain white leasing co(triton or seacastle), CMA CGM(IWT liners) and Hapag Lloyd(Cork Liners and IWT liners) Edited December 19, 2023 by MOGUL 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong(I was 6 when BELL when bust) but I don’t think there was any BELL liveries tank containers.. Rather they leased some tanks, that kept the original livery but had a label or labels applied? I shared a pic of a transamerica tank the same as the one Arran does on here a while back with such a label https://rainbowrailways.co.uk/product/c-rail-oo-gauge-transamerica-leasing-20ft-spider-tank/ On 26/12/2022 at 9:13 PM, JasonB said: Great find.
