Who are these guys?

These containers have been mentioned before on this forum . I am sure the 40’ containers are the same as JTC (JTC was annoyed by this ) and the 53’ containers are the same as Atlas . Not sure about the 20’ containers. These are very nice models at a great price the only issue I had is some of the magnets were not in the same orientation and the containers would repel each other rather than attract What’s funny is that if these containers are being made during off hours or unscrupulously they still honoured the wishes of maersk sealand , and stopped producing or selling their containers with the maersk trade mark

They've also got a decent set of modern era HO scale vehicles. They're the 4D brand ones. They're not the most detailed and you have to assemble them yourself but 16 modern era HO scale vehicles for about 17 bucks is just way too good of a deal to pass up.

Are those PFE R-70-11 reefers? Have these been done in N before? I don't recall anything 50/52' in length with diagonal ribs bracketing the doors.

Nothing like supporting an ethical "law abiding" Chinese manufacturer. 😂

In ancient times.... http://www.spookshow.net/freight/roco50plugreefer.html  (probably a bit short and definitely not fine detail)

Also, Skytop produced a highly detailed shell.... http://www.spookshow.net/freight/skytopreefer.html

Different tooling. This new car looks like it has correct doors.

I was somewhat intrigued that they offer a wood side reefer with metal ends and roof, but the angle of the roof looks a little too steep to me.

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to imply that the Roco model was an accurate rendition of the  PFE R-70-11, just responding to "I don't recall anything 50/52' in length with diagonal ribs bracketing the doors". Obviously the Roco is different tooling, as I indicated by saying "probably too short and not fine detail".  The Skytop looks pretty good to me, but I admit to not being an expert on SP refrigerator cars.

Funny that the board gaps are very reminiscent of those Rapido Trains meat reefers.    Good thing it's some off-brand model, not from one of the well known model manufacturers.  I hope those board gaps are never repeated by any of them.  The side ladder also looks rather thick.
