Kato November Intermodal Releases

[Scottl]

Nuts, I want those new logo wells, but now I know UMAX is completely useless to me.  It is a lot of work, but it may be the only way to get Canadian domestic 53' containers anyway.  Sign me up!

I've found it's pretty easy to arrange a swap of Kato containers either on Trading Post or NscaleYardSale....

Done it several times, no hassles....

[Scottl]

Even better.  Good idea.

Gary,  I believe this was from the delivery of the Umax containers - lots of photos on Trainorders if I recall of several solid trains....

True Lou, here is the same train in Bealville earlier in the day.   These are very common on the UP intermodal trains over the Pass.  For kicks, here are some samples of (nearly) dedicated stack trains in revenue service, in no particular order:

K-Line: 2012, 2011, 2011, 2007
Evergreen: 1987, 1998
China Shipping: 2005
Hyundai: 1995, 2011, 2007
Pacer: 2012, 2011
APL: 1994, 1994, 1989, 1984 (Conrail, no less).

I'll spare you the gobs of JB Hunt & UPS, save for this CSX/TOFC one:
UPS: 2013.

and some for Scott, not sure if they're dedicated enough though:
Canadian Everything: 2005
Canadian Tire: 2013, 2007, 2007, 2013  .

That shot of the tire on the tracks is great!

The nice thing about my Cisco Bridge/Fraser Canyon layout is I can run CN and CP trains, so I'll definitely have a CP train loaded up with Canadian Tire containers (pay attention here, Kato!).

Those Kato sets have been a bit out of my comfort zone price-wise (I only have one 3 unit set), but I'm not going to be able to pass up this Maersk offering. It would look too good sitting in my Maersk-themed container port.
