Gary- you have always have nice stacks, is there one coming in APL blue?:tb-rolleyes: here's a quick shot of one of mine: my best, Jan
First is another picture of a stack train, second no stacks but since Jan likes intermodal I post this picture of a trailer train. Paul
It's a new concept in intermodal: trans-oceanic. No grades, no costly port operations. Jan - BRAN stacks are just about done. I'm also scrambling to put together a photo module so I can put these units on land. Completely nuts - what spine cars are those? I don't recognize them. Nice thread! Keep it up. Cheers, Gary
Jan, question on your stacks, are these 45' containers ? Gary, bougt this spine cars from Alan Curtis before he retired a time ago. Great nice looking spine cars. I heard someone else is producing his kits when Alan retired, but don't know who. Paul
Ahh - didn't recognize them. The AC kits are now being offered by Peter Harris under the http://www.nscalekits.com/ line. He deserves our support! I'm overdue for a new order myself. One of my favorite old threads is the AC tribute: http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/showthread.php?t=81423&highlight=alan+curtis+tribute
Paul, the Crowley and Swift containers are 53' the Hyundai and Matson are 40', all are deluxe innovations and www.nscalekits.com did take over Alan's line, and Gary is right, Peter deserves all support! my best, Jan
Ok - this time a bit of scenery, but no stacks - just bare tables: and: and on and on... Sorry about the lousy depth of field... Of course in my mind, this scene looks more like this: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=164493&nseq=7 the entrance to Caliente from Ilmon Canyon at the base of the Tehachapi line. Gary
