Fair enough...

So, if we don't have 45' IWT containers in 1/76 with decent print, this year, it's all @MOGUL's fault!

I never said this year, haven't even talked to the man with the factory yet!

Thought you didn't want my craypola boxes anyway even if I put in all that effort!

Definitely don't want any if they come with Crapol's worst print!

Nice addition- will look out for it.

What is the name on it?

 

Hopefully it's not "IWTanker" because the likelihood of mixing up the W and the T while typing are pretty high.

Got these pics of a tank from Cork container terminal(they were taken by the Cranes while offloading the vessel)

Thought it is a good example of how a container should look when weathered by nearly 20 years on the high seas and being lifted onto and off vessels, trucks and trains.. The frame is heavily worn, has very little paint left on it and plenty of streaky rust, the outer shell is patched various time and the walkways are far from square. Dapol take note!

Leaving Aldi I heard the unmistakable noise of an 071 working hard.. Sure enough 072 on the UP IWT liner appeared over the crest of the hill en route to North Wall

Two empty bruhn tanks bring up the rear, under RID regs the loads on wagon 1 and 18 must be non haz, so a good place to load the empties!
