CSX is moving quite a few cuts of these through their Chicago lines/yards. When I am not out seeing them live, I often watch the Blue Island webcam and see them with daily frequency.

are them FEC Containers behind these Containers in the Works?

Those ones specifically, unfortunately not. Those aren't a product of mine.

Just making sure they load in the sim okay. The three pack, will come with empty wells as well. A first for my wellcar sets..

Shawn,
those new containers you have done are they on CPKC?

The World Direct Shipping ones? No, I haven't seen them up my way. CP kind of has a choke hold on what domestic containers are used up this way.. Irving tried using their own containers (Midland - MIDU), but that didn't pan out. Heck, I've only seen one Canadian Tire container since I've been here (2.2 years now).

Anyways, these I believe are found down in the Florida region on FEC and CSX. Maybe I will eventually see them come through on CSX..

The cars have been uploaded to the library, oddly first time I've seen something of mine go into que for approval though.. Strange.


Ah, something somewhere went wacky. Anyways, the file is there, just not showing under new. Need to search either "DRS" or "Shawn Kelley" and it will show up.

or just click this link.

I added in some single stacks to give a little spice of variety.

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.

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

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

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

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.
