Jacksonville Terminal Company - JTC AUGUST 2019 Releases

[Peter Amling]

I strongly prefer different numbers, but if only 2 or 4 numbers are available, I'll repeat them to fill a train. This goes for containers and trailers. The numbers are much smaller than on boxcars so it's much less noticeable.

[Englewood]

I would need a magnifying glass to read the numbers on a container. Not gonna happen.

I'm curious, because I know my answer... How sensitive are folks usually to container and trailer numbers?

It really depends; some container lines have their numbers in large print, especially in the rear doors. 53' containers seem to have larger numbers in many cases. But anything to shut up the most hypercritical rivert-counters out there

Nope I sleep just fine at night knowing I have repeat numbers on containers.

If you want to take a photo of your stacktrain with 4 containers' numbers visible, that's when it would matter.

Kato's later releases of the Maxi cars come with containers with the same number.
Raise your hand if you renumbered them or didn't buy them solely for that reason.

I bought the cars and sold the containers and the got containers with different numbers from JTC, Atlas, MT and ST.

PRO TIP: Weather your containers (differently, in varying degrees - NOT uniformly) and people won't care about whether your road numbers are the same or not. They'll just compliment you on your weathering skills

Sold out shortly after they were listed on their website, MB Klein apparently underestimated the buyer demand for JTC's newly released gray and magenta Ocean Network Express containers.

Sure hope a restock is planned.

Just want to say I LOVE how JTC is so direct when responding to product queries. So thank you, @JaxTerminal!
Several years ago I asked a Kato rep at a train show whether they would release a El Cap Hi-Level transition sleeper in Amtrak scheme (which they eventually did) and all they said was, "Maybe."

@JaxTerminal, thanks, those look like they will be great!  IIRc the prototype also had a variation without the large side logos, are you considering those too?

Ed, all -
I do not have a photo of a HANJIN 40' HC without the side logo.

Hanjin schemes that we do have photos of: from the NEW 40' Standard Height Series, (40' SHS series has 6 body types);

-The 40' standard height, rib-Panel side with vertical HJCL in the panel, that we will be releasing in 2020.
-The 40' standard height, rib-Panel side with Horizontal side logo.
-The 40' standard height container, (wave style corrugations) with Horizontal side logo. 
-The 40' standard height container  (wave style corrugations) Panel side with Horizontal side logo.
-The 40' Rib side(squared ribs), with the Horizontal side logo.

And a Hanjin 40' Chassis (blue) is on the schedule
