China Shipping decals- interest?

Echo, echo, echo....

I don't model intermodal traffic on my layout, so I don't know about availability of containers.  DI still has undec stratch/dent 53' trailer 5-packs, so I was able to get some JB H.... trailers anyway for my paper mill shipments by truck.

An update so you know this is still moving forward:  artwork is near-to-final, with whites converted to black and many details and improved arrangement to ease application  Hoping to have these off to print this week.



It now looks like there will be 9 X 40' and 4 X 20' on a 1/3 sheet.

I received some packages of 40' DI hi-cube undecorated this week.  I see now the 20' are out of stock, but perhaps there are other sources?

An update on this project.  The decals arrived and I did up two 40' units.  A few issues that need fixing, some of the minor lettering is not scaled quite right.

I painted two versions to aim for the range of colors that the containers appear in my neck of the woods.  The lighter version is Poly Scale Penn Central Green and Reefer White, and the darker has some ATSF Blue added.  I prefer the green tone of the darker version, but both are much closer to reality than what I have seen of the (unavailable) versions sold by DI.

Still getting the big logo to settle down with Micro Sol...

Those look great. What containers are you using?

Looking very good Scott.

Looking good @Scottl - can't wait to see them with the door hardware painted
