World Direct Shipping Containers (COFC)

[qballbandit]

I didn't want to stick this in Bernard's project thread and raise his blood pressure

A newer Tampa, Florida area company. Seeing a lot of cuts of these containers on CSX COFC trains.
Any interest would be greatly appreciated by many, I'm sure.

Thank you!

Been digging into this, haven't found many useful shots of these containers seems they are fairly new, but I will keep poking away and see what I can find. I found only one decent side shot I could work with, but it's the ends that will be the tricky part on getting good photos of.

You know, I can do the lettering for the logo if you like...

While true, I don't want to be constantly bugging you for fonts.

As always, thank gents for all you do for the community. If this pans out, great! If not, thanks for at least giving it a peek.

that would be great if you can, i have found some very small pics of both ends of the 53' version, not good enough to use but good enough for me to create the ends manually. but for the side a good font for the main lettering would be great, with that i can work this container into the series i am currently working on, i also have the logo that appears on the ends but in colour rather than just blue and white as i think it looks like its used on the ends (see below)



on the container ends this appears to be blue and white only no reds

Guess I'll just back off on this one...

This has been added to the SHIPPING font on my site.

End Logo as well (Though I probably should add a glyph to make the white background versus assuming you can easily use a white "fill" in your paint program.)

[CSRX]

Thanks Pete, I will redownload that font a little later tonight and see what I can muster up...

[pwillard]

I did a quick mock up (quite carelessly I might add) to just see how it would look.

Neil,
Got a few texture adjustments to make, then it is onto some mixed numbers, and renumber the FEC wells. Probably toss in a FEC single well as well. Hope this works for you! Using a mix of Pete's font, and another font found online by Luke L that works pretty good for certain lettering.

Thankyou. will be really handy for the future, good to see Shawn taking the challenge on, no need for me to worry about it now

I did try to get an accurate depiction of the door side of the car...

[CSRX]

A little better than before. I still haven't found many good detailed shots of the door ends, so for now they will remain as is, and hopefully not far in the future when more photos of these arise, I can update the end textures. Hope that is okay! I'd rather get the real details versus just making things up. Also changed the number on the FEC 3 pack.
