Bell Container Ship

Here's an idea if you have the room, I wish.

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.

I want to incorporate a container terminal in my new layout, that ship would look great at the dockside. Great pics

Hi babyGM. Bell containers were a common sight in the70's and 80's on liner trains all over the country.

You would need one of these to load onto your 071/201 hauled freight train!

 

Does anyone know is it possible to load these scalescene PDFs into Photoshop or gimp to add some weathering before printing?

Krose,

 

Easily done with Photoshop, you could even swap out all the text and logos with Irish ones too
