Last run over two years ago, ScaleTrains has just announced a 3rd run of Operator series CIMC 53' Dry and Reefer Containers.

This latest run includes…

CIMC 53’ Corrugated Dry Containers

•    XPO Logistics

New paint schemes

•    JB Hunt/Intermodal/Small Nose Logo
•    JB Hunt/Uline
•    JB Hunt/Gray
•    JB Hunt/JBI Logos on ends
•    Schneider logo without “National” - white roof and darker orange body color than containers with Schneider National logo; ex-Marten
•    COFC Logistics/White; ex-Martin
•    Hub Group with large Hub Group logo on the roof

Rerun

•    JB Hunt/Intermodal/Large Nose Logo

CIMC 53’ Reefer Containers

New roadname

•    Maritime Ontario

New paint schemes

•    Quicktrax with small logo (earlier version had large logo)
•    CR England without “Global Transportation” on sides under name

The ScaleTrains Trainfest Show announcement e-mail had the following preorder information:

"Paint schemes for modern containers are complex and require a significant amount of production capacity in the printing department.  To avoid the potential of delaying other projects, we will be ordering a limited quantity above our preorders so be sure to preorder by Monday, December 10th for best availability."

For those keeping score, the earliest photos I can find at the usual sources are the Aug / Sep 2015 range for this Schneider logo on these containers. Note there's a subtle arrow in the logo where the Schneider "N" used to drop down to form the band for the National. GPS unit locations seem to vary too which affects the nose logo - the ST artwork seems to reflect this too.

Evidence of the white roof is still pretty scarce, but here it is:
