I wonder how the top left door opens?

HI All 

Just like any other but the lower part goes most of the way across as it has the flap that folds down to discharge the product in it.

I think these had more conventional doors in case they got used as a general 30ft container but now they all just have access doors so they can change the bag and clean them out.

The sea wheel boxes are 40ft Pallet wides so different to Arrans tooling unfortunately..

But would be a good model for Limerick to Waterford baby powder liners

HI All

The next OO  containers almost ready to go into production.

first is Manchester lines 20ft x 8'6"  so thats early 80s onwards .

Then we have two more 40ft hc bryboxs in Brown MSC as these are becoming more common and ICL which have been getting requested quite a bit.

When would the last of the ML containers have been seen, even as fallen flags?

[DJ Dangerous]

What are the periods for each?

Manchester Liners from the early eighties until when?

When did the MSC brown boxes and ICL boxes first appear?

Are MSC switching from beige boxes to brown boxes?

[Arran]

HI All 

Manchester liners went bust in 1985 and their routs taken over by OOCL i think so logically mid to early 90s for the containers becoming extinct .

The MSC brown with the sand MSC have been around a while so last 10 years i think.  ICL have  been about a good while and that container ive done was made in April 2015 .

The MSC containers look the business in that colour. Bit of rarity, for me anyway. I've only seen one, on maybe 3 or 4 occasions. 

Sad, but yes, I do look out for containers on my daily commute

HI All

You get MSC brown with the sand and or a Black logo .

If you notice the brown are registered the GLDU which is GOLD just branded MSC .

Here endith the lesson

Have to keep my eye on the C-Rail website for these!

 

I see a nice photo of the Manchester Liners containers here (I'm assuming that it's an older ML livery in the photo?) :

Just so modelers of an earlier era don't feel like that have been left wanting for choice, here's another 'golden oldie' so to speak. There is a model but unfortunately it's HO by Walthers. Anyway, A12 heading cross border from BELFAST with an orange cement bubble and ......

Manchester Liners switched to container traffic in the late 1960s but declined in the 70s due to competition from larger container companies and industrial disputes in the UK and was absorbed intimately into OOCL c. 1988

HI All

the containers are now in stock

Looks like a later livery than the one in your photo. I'd hazzard a guess that yours was seventies and this was eighties.

Any intent on doing the previous livery on the ML? I don't know if the container itself the same?
