Team Global Express Repaints

The next best thing to a new container is a repainted container, and Team Global Express (TGE) haven't disappointed.  I posted earlier this year about their new 40ft boxes (LINK HERE) and over the past week older Toll 48ft general boxes have started appearing with repainted sides and small logos.

Today was an interesting capture with a TDDS and a TCML box as part of the PS7 consist.  Interestingly the TCML box appeared in the correct TGE green with the logo at the door end and the TDDS box appeared in Toll teal with the logo at the non-door end.  

The TCML and TDDS containers date back to a mid-2000 delivery (about 2004-2005 to be accurate) and carried the large Toll logo in yellow and orange.  There are a few photos in my blog which you can search in the top right corner.  Here is one from 2015.  Toll even managed to repaint at least one in 2019 with the darker green and white logo.


TCML 48520 in the correct TGE green.

TDDS 48633 in what appears to be the old Toll teal green colour.

Enjoy!
