Microtrains 20' and 40' containers: Anyone know the prototype and era?

Microscale's 60-487 should get you sorted for APL.

I'm not sure whether the Wheels of Time 35' resin container had a decal for Sealand, but until there was a development with a) a container and b) decals, I'd be using 60-311 as my Sealand scheme:

Yeah I was tired (duh) when I posted that. APL yeah.

The Microscale Sea-Land scheme I think is after my era (1975).

I have a pair of the WOT 35' containers and the decals, which could be used on the 40'.

There's no decal's for that Maersk scheme?  I can't believe it.

Yeah, me neither!

Microscale does these in HO for A-Line as custom runs, so the artwork for Maersk and a few others is tied-up and last time I asked, A-Line had no interest in either doing these in N or allowing the artwork to be used. Criminal.

APL 48' Big Bird scheme is another one.

I noticed those A-line decals.  So that explains it.  Stupid.

Yeah, D-U-M-B about the Maersk decals ...

If the decals were out there I would foob up my MTL 40' and 20' containers in Maersk ...

Cause making money is an ad idea apparently.

I'm still lamenting the "on hold" status of the Deluxe 70's era sheet and post smoothside standard containers:

Concor makes a crude 40' smooth side (RIVETS!) that is more like 8x8x9.

Meanwhile, I hope MTL will do the Maersk - maybe they'll do the 20' ones too:

Seriously.  +5

BTW everyone, it turns out that Deluxe did a Maersk reefer in the old Maersk scheme discussed above.  I had totally forgotten and then I found one when going through some stuff today.
