Austrans Repaint

Imagine my surprise when this 20+ year old Seacell turned up freshly painted in Austrans Livery!  The sun was only just coming up, hence the gnarly shadows.  

Here is AUSU 400423 repainted from lime green.

Here is a shot from about 15 years ago of 400425 in the original green.

Austrans have started to pump their branding with bright red trucks, new 2023 build containers, including new 40ft GPs, and 46'6 reefers.  Keep your eyes peeled.

Enjoy!

ARLS now LTCD - Lindsay Reefers

Recently in the news it was announced that Lindsay Transport has picked up a number of former Scott Refrigeration assets including rail containers.  

While it is likely many haven't been rebranded, a number of newer ARLS 46'6 reefers have been fully rebranded and recoded into the standard Lindsay system.

Captured earlier this week is former ARLS 415 (one of 100 built) now LTCD 4615 03.  This follows the standard reefer numbering system for Lindsay with 46 for the length, 15 for the year build (click the link to see a new photo from 2015 of an ARLS container) and 03 for the number in the series.

Interestingly, back dating the number series the the year 15 doesn't clash with their existing fleet as their first new purchase of 46 reefers was in 2018, so their first container was 461801.

Keep an eye out for fresh looking 4615 series reefer - No yellow posts!

Local Drone Shots

A few more drone shots from around my local area in the Southern Highlands.
