New for '22: JTC Reefers/Gensets/Power Units!

Some very cool news. This is a screencap from RMC's Amherst coverage featuring Jacksonville Terminal Company's booth ( https://www.facebook.com/modelcraftsman/videos/452696803172877/) Their long-awaited 40' reefer units are coming, plus gensets as well as power units in container 5-packs, expected around Summer 2022:



BTW, the RMC reporter jokingly asks JTC's Stan Brooks whether their containers are shipped in (prototype) containers. He replied, "No, we do not ship them in containers," which all but verifies my air freight theory of how JTC's product arrives from the factory.

Very happy to see these! I also like that the reefer unit attaches with a magnet.
I hope they start doing 5 packs on other containers, too.

@JaxTerminal - should you be interested in modern Dole or Chiquita art work I'd be happy to do some research.  My office is across the street from their terminal in Gulfport, MS . . .

I've seen a 5-unit articulated set of 40ft well cars filled with nine K Line containers plus a container providing power. Are these that prototype? If so, that's awesome. Would be great with a DCC sound decoder providing the status lights and generator sound!
