Rare SCFU Curtain Sider

Despite being 8 years old, I have never seen this SCF 48ft curtain sider.

This unit is SCFU 814149-7 and has a orange curtain and has the (what would have been new) large logo.

Enjoy!

Old Blue forty-footers

Some old brand and old logo blue 40ft shipping containers

An old CMA CGM logo, something like 15-20 years old.

Two Italia containers, which is part of Evergreen and started getting these logos from 2006.

The same Lloyd Triestino box is doing the rounds on the east coast.  This would be pre-2006 before the Italia name was being used, but is still in the post 1993 Evergreen style.

Enjoy!

SCT Container Repaints

Appears that SCT have purchased and painted a heap of former Unit48 general purpose 48ft containers.

The Unit48 containers were previously blue with the SCT units now being repainted in a bright silver livery and coded SCTL which is the same code as applied to the original SCT boxes that are of the same design.  

An original SCTL box, this one being 004336-4, and is of the same design as the PVDU containers.

Fresh repaint SCTL 480079-0.  You can see a blue PVDU box on the left.

PVDU 480036-2 in the original livery.  Some of these boxes have also been remarked for Booth.

Another repaint, being 480076-4.

Something Different - Graffiti

An undeniable aspect of railways is graffiti, and lately there have been some pretty colourful and artistic pieces going up.  Here is a small selection of PN well wagons and SCT boxcars.  

Enjoy!

NR34 - First Nations Livery

Was pretty happy to jag a shot of NR34 this week.  It carries the Pacific National First Nations Livery which aligns with the launch of their Reconciliation Action Plan.

The awesome artwork and design is by Leigh Harris.

New Qube Jumbo Coil Containers QJAU

Qube have just taken delivery of a stack of new QJAU 20ft jumbo coil containers.  

These are pretty neat, as a pair of them lock together and form a third cradle between the inner ends of each container, giving much greater flexibility than the previous DMJU coil containers.  

These containers are suitable for jumbo coils which have a diameter of 1410-2200mm, a maximum width of 1950mm, and a maximum mass of 30,400kg.  

They look great in grey, on the SQSY 40ft skels.

Enjoy!
