    Canadian Tire 60 foot containers

    I've finally got around to finishing a project I started way back. When I realised CT had 60 foot containers I spent a bit of time messing around with ways to put some together and have finally finished a load for Canadian National. I don't run Canadian Pacific trains at all but I thought it would be pretty easy to substitute the 2 CN containers for CP ones. I only had a couple of CP containers and the photos aren't quite as good as the rest of the ones I used in the set. I'll push on and see if I can get a bit more of a "3d" effect on them but if anyone has a couple of good quality photos of CP containers please shoot me a PM. I'd like to upload them before Christmas but I'd happily redo them down the track a bit if anyone can find a few good pics at any stage please.

        I'm not sure how high quality my CP containers are for your Canadian Tire pack, but you can give those a try. I know majority of the time those show up mixed together on the CP trains from Western Canada into Toronto and Montreal.

              I hear you Rory. Life would be so much better if important things didn't get in way of having fun and relaxing! 😊

              The 2 Canadian Tire sets have been uploaded.

                  Thanks Curt, you're welcome. For anyone not wanting the Canadian Tire content, but who might like one or both of the RR company containers, I've just uploaded a pair of single well cars with the 2 CN & 2 CP cars in them.
                  Cheers!
