Just think of the possibilities 

 

Time to sell some of the fuzzy Dapol skinny 45's!

Merry Christmas, @MOGUL, let’s see you ID this one!

It looks like the scene of a possible mass grave to be honest! Either that or you buried the carcass of a gigantic Christmas turkey!) 

[DJ Dangerous]

Looks like a WEC Lines container sitting in the middle of the Refinery:

Hi @DJ Dangerous,

Thought you may like this, quick grab shot taken in Ballyhaunis this morning.

Thanks, John!

Haven't seen an ECS box in a while!

[DJ Dangerous]

Two retired-looking boxes snapped on an undeveloped parcel in Barranco del Inglés last Thursday, May 9th.

They look to be NENU 4EG1 box no. 9941958 and I can’t make out the other.

A 22G1 20' CAI (or former CAI) box spotted at the old favourite, the Chio roundabout, on Monday 13th May.

Number TYMU-6351986.

The "TYMU" and the final "6" appear new additions.

Looks to have been adopted by TYMSA up in Valencia:

And what gorgeous patchwork!

 

 

[DJ Dangerous]

Not a container, but a hello to forest fires again, yay:

 

 

[DJ Dangerous]

Another non-container container-thread post, but a SAR mission this time.

Sorry that the photos aren't great, but that chopper must have been at least 2km away.

They were less than an hour before heading back to base, so hopefully they were successful.

Hijacking your own thread, what kind of chopper was it?

To keep things on course, here’s a nice new Blue CAI unit with ECS branding.. Blue CAI units seem to have started appearing on the XPO liner also, likely on lease to Samskip

I’m not great on helicopter models but it looks to be an AgustaWestland AW139.

I like the older ECS branding a lot better. If only there were a model railway company out there who had the power to launch a range of non-fuzzy 45’ containers in both O and OO gauge…

Oh well!

Passing the Chio roundabout on the way to the vets yesterday evening and saw a Hamburg Sud 45R1 reefer, no. SUDU-8116531.

Yep looks like an AW139 alright, bit of an ironic reg for a rescue aircraft based in that part of the world….

The Dapol ECS boxes are good if you can get hands on, they date from before the crappy printing but must be about 8 years since they were released

I know, but it could be worse, starting with PA or having a 77 in there somewhere.

Managed to find one or two of the classic ECS ones from classic Dapol, but wouldn't say no to some more...

[MOGUL]

Agreed

EC-KLM in action again.

 

 

[MOGUL]

There is a couple of their bigger brothers on the way to the coast guard over here in the coming months..

Although I think I will miss the S-92s, even if they do occasionally wake the baby heading south after taking off from the airport.. My sleep will be a bit better with the new AWs out of Weston

MOL 22G1 20’ no. JSVU-7281167 off the TF-1 at the Chio roundabout today:

Sadly it's very rare to see an Alligator box here in Manchester these days. Plenty of those shocking pink ONEs though.

I do own one of these though!

Perfect t-shirt.

Shockingly awesome pink boxes, you mean!

Who doesn’t love a tasty pink box or two?

 

 

[Mol_PMB]

Looking through my old Irish photos I found one of 'my' boxes at Limerick in the early 2000s:

Even back then, this was one of the older MOL boxes with the original livery. MOL is of course a compound acronym where the O is itself an acronym

[DJ Dangerous]

Was trainspotting in Taco the other day and spotted a little gem passing - a Correos 40’ box!

Looks to be a highcube, door handles were embedded WEC style, didn’t see an ID on the side but there was something on the back that may have been an ID:

TRAU-1701880

Wait wait wait, I stand corrected:

It’s a 4EG1 box, ID TRAU-1701880.

One for @MOGUL, @Arran and the hardcore container guys.

Still from video:
