MY UPLOAD PROJECT NUMBER 226 (Mixed containers Pt3) STARTS BELOW

This will be another set of 5 different containers on a 5 unit spine car set. and will be the final 53' container set for a while.

The Matson is slightly different from the one in set 225 in that the 53' on the sides is considerably smaller and lower down, the J.B.Hunt unlike the previous ones uploaded is not a corrugated side version and the Schneider is a more modern version with corrugated sides, the AXsun is a Canadian container, but i saw 2 or 3 of them in consists photographed in Southern California, so it is a good one for consists in both countries.

Progress so far, all of the containers bar the J B Hunt have all of the sides, ends and roofs done but just require lettering on the ends & roofs, the JB Hunt is a pain as i cannot find a pic, any pic, of what the nose end looks like on a smooth side other than on road trailers rather than containers, so i might have to imagineer that one, the unit 53 is done baring the roof & nose lettering and the matson is completely finished bar lining up the door hinges on the sides, the Axsun unit is unusual as unlike most container liveries the yellow panels on the ends of the sides is confined to the sides and not extended to the ends and roof as usually done on container liveries. any way a pic below of each one as they stand at the end of work period today.

Once again, love that Matson container, I like the looks of the JB Hunt and Schneider containers too.

Probably could mix and match these to other sets you've done such as the JB Hunt set in assuming, to give some single stack variety too.

Yep, all the containers are FA's so any mix is possible.

Finally got the J B Hunt nose done, found a grainy pic of the end of a Hunt plate 53footer but from a plate side with the bumps out all along the sides which was made by wabash with the old trailer style curved front posts, along with another partial showing a later 3 panel plate nose, so recreated this with the corner posts matching the sides. think it looks OK.

Bernard, I gotta tell ya, your talent - as well as your generosity, is unbelievable. These sets of cars and containers are incredible. The words "THANK YOU" hardly sounds adequate for the pleasure these sets have brought. Believe me, I appreciate them - and you as well.

Thanks Larry, appreciated. Two more containers finished for units B & C just 2 to go.

No 4 is complete, easy one for this morning as it only needed the hinges lining up to finish it.

Hey, Bernard, I have a favor. The next time you do a JB HUNT container, could you add the word "Intermodal" underneath the logo. Most of the JB HUNT containers I see on YouTube videos have this nomenclature added. Thanks for your latest set. Downloaded already.

i already did a load of those in the previous large set of JB Hunts, that particular unit did not have it in real life the sides are actually a photograph of the unit in question and it was on a consist as i have it in 2022ish in Southern California, as i do all of my containers as photoskins on the long sides all of them are as they were in real life.
