Lime Vans on PS6

PS6 always provides some interesting container loads and a variety of Sadleirs van.

Quad NRs past Aylmerton with vans upfront.

RLSY 18699 with a missing logo board which wasn't painted behind.  Nice rust streaks.

RLUY 18598.  Not looking too bad, but seems that the centreline of the roof is a little too far to reach for painting!

RLUY 18606 looks the goods with a bright paint and full coverage on the roof.

A good comparison to 606 is RLUY 18640 which has an unpainted roof centreline and graffiti to match.

RLUY 18719 is well faded and has no logo panel.

NQOY 15058 with a pair of Sadleirs containers.

I last saw a Millform container in WA on an SCT train Here it is. 

This one is MILU 400002-2

RQFY 76 with a nice selection of 20ft boxes including a SCFU Rail Containers bulktainer.

Finishing with a classic AN flat, RQKY 2693 fitted with Aligned bogies.  

Enjoy!

WM2

A few shots of WM2 today past Aylmerton

A grubby fronted 9317 with the usual 'marks' ex Melbourne.

A rather unusual Steellink wagon in NQPY 14559.  A lot of NQPYs have been stored as the bogies are swinglink type (XFA type as I recall) which are not being overhauled as they come due. 

A stark contrast between container lids.

VQOF 12 is an early ELX underframe as can be seen by the shallow centre sill.

Enjoy!

PQBY 3002

CIMC owned PQBY 3002 with a new Waterfront container.

Enjoy!

Pipe Load

Nothing like a good flatrack load.  Here is 40 steel pipes tied down onto a 40ft flatrack being carried on RQSY 34312.

Note all the straps for each layer of pipes, as well as the timbers between each row.

Would make a great model.

Enjoy! 

Not a Train

Grabbed this shot at Appleton Dock in Melbourne earlier in the week.

The vessel is the Maersk Gairloch from London.  Quite impressive in size and colour!

Enjoy!
