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.

Arran Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) 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.

murphaph Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 When would the last of the ML containers have been seen, even as fallen flags? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 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 .

JasonB Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 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 Regards Arran n 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 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?) : On 7/9/2021 at 1:43 AM, DiveController said: 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 ...... (c) John McKegney on Flickr 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
