Daryl, In the film you showed of the prototype, most of the containers were also 40ft containers

I took my white containers and painted them in different colors. And then placed them on the bottom of container stacks in my yard. They make good fillers.

Great video Daryl, I saw a lot of 20 footers and forty footers in that train too!!

Glad to see the new stack train, we actually discussed this very thing when I met you at Amherst

Your comment of the “last” loco you’re gonna buy made me laugh!! 😂 A friend got out of the hobby and gifted me many scale trains and Genesis locos - I too said no more locos. Lasted a few months. Though nowadays, when I buy a UP loco, I weather it and resell it. Another great video. Looking forward to seeing the rock molds and scenery at the tunnels!!

That is quite a haul!

20', 40' and 45' are internationally shipped and are not often mixed with domestic 53' and 48' on the same train. We see what some call "land bridge container trains" that are all international containers and some trains all 53' domestic containers. UP and CPKC have contracts with Schneider and we see lots of their Orange containers here.

The 40’ and 20’ containers are mostly used for international ports. 53’ containers are for domestic service in USA.

We had a short on the Free-mo setup at the 2010 NTS IN Milwaukee that we spent over three hours troubleshooting. Turned out it was a Walthers flat car, the owner installed new metal wheels that were shorting against the weights! P.S. What no KCS in the haul 😊

The CSX mainline near Rotterdam Junction NY is my back property line. I never see any white containers FYI.

I am the same way . I love Athearn Genesis due to detail and the TSU2. I love Scale Trains Rivet Counters due to lighting features, details and weight! They are great pullers. LOVE THE PROGRESS btw !! Hope to see some more 40' well cars and containers as well!! Have a great week!!

Man Darryl your layout progress has given me hope of one day building my dream layout

I was going to say that you only have 53 footers. Most international traffic is 40 ft. You also don't have any 20ft containers.

I also had one problem with extra flesh and „melted“ clear plastic where the lights are of an NS ET44AC by ScaleTrains. Unfortunately it can’t easily send things back from Europe so I have to fix it by myself.

Containers are so expensive, maybe you could trade some white for orange, red containers.

The white EMP and NACS are older containers

Awesome haul from Lombard hobbies! Now you still need a few of the 53 foot dark blue UMAX containers from Walthers and you will be all set

I haul rail containers from rail yard to rail yard around the Chicago area, especially from the union pacific. White containers are quite common especially the earlier 1990s Era versions. Many are still in use today. But the darker color cans are becoming more common. Note that it is also because of a change in materials used to build the newest can. Corrugated sheet steel, the same steel used on the 40 ft international cans. So I really don't think you have to sell off the white can, but adding more of the newer style cans as well. Yes, I model intermodal trains myself. Basically modeling what I commonly see.

Daryl, the “white” containers are of aluminum construction, vs the others that are steel boxes. Railroads are phasing out the aluminum boxes as they damage to easily and replacing with steel boxes. Still a nice looking train…

Mix up your containers and would suggest using white containers for TOFC Service.

It's not just white containers. You need more 40 footer overseas boxes. Too many 53 footers. You won't see many 45 or 48 footers any more.

Daryl I understand your love affair with the EMD SD70ace locomotives they are amazing machines; I myself have a fancy for the SD70aec-BB which are used on the meter gauge railroads of Brazil unfortunately no one is producing models of these eight axle behemoths.

It's $31.98, hard to tell because the 3 is distorted by the letter that's right over.

Bunch of 20 foot containers (all we saw in New Zealand). Tanker containers? CN see mix of 40, 48 and 53 well cars.

Many white containers are JB Hunt. Their logistics pattern does not feed the Evanston Sub

BNSF does a lot of white containers because they have the contract to JB Hunt so in the Pacific Northwest there's a lot of white containers just to let you know

51.98?! Walthers doesn't even sell that kit for that much. 31.98 on their website, sale price same as Lombard.

Hi Daryl & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Daryl & Friends Randy & I AM ENJOY YOU VIDEO IS COOL & DARYL & GOOD FRIENDS RANDY

Can't you use some in a intermodal yard. I am from Oakland, CA and not only are there zillions that have arrived near the port, many are stored around the city.

No that locomotive was a repaint, after they were wrecked and repainted they didn’t get the flag back on

I think we know that that it won't be the last unit lol

i 3D print my sea cans are they worth your time how do you look at it for your use of the 3D printers you use them for too I make a lot of windows and doors and other things i put on the layout too paint the sea cans and decal them fad the paint so you have a blank box and can change the look of them all

JB Hunt and UPS are BNSF's largest intermodal customers. In the late 1980s, JB Hunt agreed to shift its truckload long haul carriage segment to rail with Sante Fe (ATSF). At that time, it was entirely a TOFC trailer operation. During the 1990s, Hunt slowly began transitioning to 48' domestic intermodal containers. The relationship grew and broadened when Sante Fe merged with Burlington Northern in the mid-1990s. Eventually, the 53' domestic container supplanted its 48' predecessor, and by the late 2010s, 48' domestic containers started becoming obsolete. Although UPS also does some business with Union Pacific at times, they ship a much broader volume of their UPS Ground transcontinental traffic with BNSF in containers and pup trailers. All UPS and JB Hunt domestic containers are painted white. So, you will see a lot more white containers on BNSF than you will on Union Pacific. Union Pacific hauls their jointly owned UMAX (with CSX) and EMP (with Norfolk Southern) containers in large numbers, along with Hub Group who ride exclusively on UP west of Chicago. Hub Group is JB Hunt's direct competitor, thus Hub's arrangement with UP is similar to Hunt's arrangement with BNSF. In your prototype video clip, those containers are mostly international maritime (ocean) boxes that can be seen stacked on huge ocean-going container ships. International maritime containers are mostly 40' or 20' - while a smaller number are 45'. These international maritime containers should not be confused with 53' domestic containers. While you will see ocean and domestic containers mixed within the same trains, more often you'll see them in separate trains or at least in separate blocks within the same train, given that they are different service levels, with different shipping rates, priorities, delivery schedules,etc. For example, you do not often see (20-40-45') ocean boxes on a Z-train. Ocean boxes are generally lower priority intermodal service on North American Class 1 railroads. *Eastbound* ocean boxes are pretty much all imports from Asia. *Westbound* ocean boxes may be exports, west coast bound domestic freight booked at a backhaul rate, or empties, due to the significant international trade imbalance. Most of the maritime shipping companies have colorful containers, so you won't see many white containers amongst a train of ocean boxes unless the container is a reefer. *Domestic containers:* 53' (48' obsolete), often high priority Z-trains *International maritime (ocean) containers:* 20-40-45' , often lower priority stack trains *BNSF:* plenty of white JB Hunt and UPS domestic containers *UP:* fewer white containers

Daryl, The train on your layout is a domestic container and the prototype would be an equivalent of a port stack train (over seas). I wouldn’t sell your white containers, but you do you!

40' containers on the prototype?

Can you say what you like about ESU,over other brands??

That won't be your last Locomotive. I have been saying this for the last 5 years now.

Hey Daryl I migh getting a computer I am still in ho but any ways I will back swing of things trains in the fall

Way to drawn out
