Where can I find Blue Binliner Trash Flatcars?

[Curt C]

Not familiar with those, but there's some nice trash container/flatcars (payware) over at Tiger Trains.

It's an UK flatcar.

No picture but I found these UK Binliners in the library here

Well, probably not at all what you were asking for, but I did have these. I don't think I ever released these though, so maybe perhaps I can swap them over to the newer models from TS and release them.

[Curt C]

Those look pretty sharp, Shawn!

Great use of somewhat functionally obsolete well cars...

I think whatever set had those 89' flatcars with the trash loads got taken down by TS. Still look great however.

Well I have to ask. What makes them functionality obsolete? Not trying to start anything. Just not aware of anything better out there. Unless I'm totally mistaken and missed something big.

I'm referring to the real world, not the models. Those cars wound up outside the DTTX fleet, which I'm assuming was for cause.

Are you talking about the Dirt Train consist that comes with the Green River route? That route and set is still available in their archived products. There's also a Dirt Train set that comes with Soldier Summit from Maple Leaf Tracks. I have something similar from TMT, too, but those seem to be gone from their website, or at least I can't find them.

Like Curt C said, it looks like Tiger Trains also has a set, and it includes some that are blue.

I think those are the cars that came with the CSX Gevo set? The dirt train flats from green river might have different loads than those.

Those cars were originally owned by the shipper, APL, back in the era of 1984-1991 when each shipper ran dedicated trains containing only their company's owned or leased boxes. They were about 7 years into a 10 year contract when competition among the sea shippers was so intense they could no longer afford dedicated trains. So they reworked the contracts to lower the cost, but in that process, the dedicated trains went away and trains made up of various blocks of different shipping companies came into being. A cut of APL, a cut of Hanjin, a cut of Maersk, etc all on the same train.

The APL cars were sold to the Brandon RR and were restenciled BRAN

I don't know how much more you can rework or refresh a well car, poly count-wise.

To be fair, while there are different size trash boxes, those looked undersized. Almost all the photos of the USW boxes, they sat on the flatcars taller than the locomotives.




So the roof of the boxes were raised in a shape file mod.




Another shape mod on the Conrail Dash8W's was to eliminate the outside sunshade

[geepster775]

The Tiger Trains site had both some municipal trash boxes, and some 'dirty dirt' boxes of various colors
