Not bells but the containers used for ore and grain in the 90s

HI ALL

 

All being well i will have a sample of the 40ft Bell on the Realtrack stand at warley, but i will post pics here as well.

Also the 30ft Bulk container is something i have as a kit, i have enough info to do a set of transfers for that as well as the paint specs.

 

The question is is there enough people to sell at least 150 set of transfers to do the run to make it worth while.

I don't think you will have a problem sell that amount along with the kits. Is it just the Bell Bulk decals or will you also be including the plain old Bell decals as well

HI

 

I will look into that as theres time to change yet, as its only the sample im getting, ive come across a few differences on the look myself especially on the ends. The only comment i would have on what you are showing is the middle leg of the E being as thick as the top and bottom my info says that should be narrower.

Some times you can look at things till your blue in the face and not spot the mistake as i see what i want to see.

Would've thought these would be popular with British modellers too of a 1980s/1990s persuasion?

 

Bell containers were common at the Willesden Freightliner/Channel Tunnel container terminal in North London in the 90s, used to pass it most days on the daily commute into the big smoke. I am not sure whether they arrived on services through the Chunnel or the South West as they rarely appeared on the WCML.

 

At one time Bell traffic was conveyed on both scheduled and company trains in the UK and on the Continent, one of the more unusual traffics carried was spagetti from McDonalds of Drogheda to Italy :)

Jayzus. What a way to kick off Friday. They're magnificent. How much each? Any discount if you get 10 ;-)

Yes drop me an email through the C RAIL INTERMODAL website and you will go on the list.
