dave182 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Great pictures! As a modeling project it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possiblity to fit this into an 00 gauge scene/layout. Using the containers as a rough measuring tape, these ships are coming in around 80 to 90 metres in length, so a scale model would be around 1.2 metres. I'd love to model a port scene with rolling stock being unloaded e.g. Shiny new 201's or railcars. It becomes an expensive scene though to have 5 or 6 static locos sitting on the dock doing nothing! And another 3 or 4 on the ship still to be unloaded! A bell container ship might be the way to go.

BabyGM Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Great pictures ,I wonder if any of those bells were ever transported on Irish railways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I want to incorporate a container terminal in my new layout, that ship would look great at the dockside. Great pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosKonay Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 http://scalescenes.com/products/T030-Cargo-Ship Would look the business tied up dockside with a load of Bells getting onboarded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
108 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hi babyGM. Bell containers were a common sight in the70's and 80's on liner trains all over the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know is it possible to load these scalescene PDFs into Photoshop or gimp to add some weathering before printing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krose, Easily done with Photoshop, you could even swap out all the text and logos with Irish ones too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
