They really are a fantastic set Bernard. Thank you very much!

[burgerbern]

they are now in the library, UMAX will probably be next, just need to find some reference pics of the ends.

MY UPLOAD PROJECT NUMBER 222 (UMAX containers) STARTS BELOW

Need a little help, i have found a decent shot of the UMAX door end and a few reference pis of the nose end which will enable me to create one, but there is one marking that i need a decent hi-res image of and that is the yellow and black sign on the corner posts shown in the pic below ringed in red, just cannot find out what it says or one clear enough to use on the ace file. (the one below is the best i have found so far)

Could be wrong, but I believe that says "Warning High Container" for it being a 9'6" tall container. Mirrored so that the truck driver can read it in his mirror before going under a low bridge. I believe when these containers are on a chassis, they are 13' and a few inches tall, much like a regular dry van trailer.

Hey Bernard - and Shawn. I have a perfect head on shot of the ass end of an Amazon container. It was on a semi directly in front of me and when we stopped at a light I got a couple good shots of it. Would either of you be interested?

I'll have to opt out of this one. Bernard has been doing an amazing job with these 53 footers, and at the moment I'm focused on another large set of 40 footers and possibly 20 footers. Plus some other stuff including my route..

Thanks Shawn, that makes sense now, looking at the pics i had again after your reply i can see that now, dunno why i did not spot that at all before

Thanks Larry, yes that would be useful, for any new Amazons i do as fillers in future sets.

Great work on these sets. Fills a lot of voids.

[burgerbern]

got the basics done so i can now get serious, plenty of material for this one, thanks to OSSIE

Not "WARNING", "CAUTION HIGH CONTAINER".

I know some say Warning, that's why I said it..

[burgerbern]

Thanks Guys, Caution is the word i used on the end in the screenie a few posts above, once i knew it was reversed i turned a few of the pics that way and saw it was caution

[burgerbern]

here is the ends closer in, have refined the door end with the much thinner white vertical lines at the two outer edges and you can see the caution sign more clearly.

been doing more to the first stack, just numbers to put on some ends, but am going to do all that at the end, mainly been working on the set of triple wells for this set, this morning been working on the alpha layer and textures for the walks, still have to renumber the cars but will be in the series #723000 - #724999, opting for the ATW GWG33 wells as the couplers and wheels are nicer than the older HH ones i used in one of the earlier sets. will also be some on single wells as well like the last set.
