managed one side of another 3 containers, did not even realise that Matson did 53 footers having only ever seen 40's and 45's before in the sim.

Hey Bernard I know you have a lot of stuff going on right now but do you think you could fit in some Amazon Prime/CSX double stacks and maybe also some Amazon Prime/UMAX double stacks somewhere down the road when you have time.Comment

Never knew Matson had 53 footers either. Only once I have seen their 45 footer in person. Which apparently, I keep neglecting to put in my container sets for some reason. Hmm.-Shawn K-

Thanks again Neil, and it is always good to know you haven't completely lost the plot. I was looking to see if I'd saved a pic last night but found this bookmarked today. It's not exactly the same "model" but appears to be a permanent part of their MOW gear, so trackside, in transit on a flatcar or part of a MOW train, it's nice to have options.Pete, quite common to lift these up on flatcars and move them to where they are needed.

And Shawn, if you need a Matson 45, you know who to call.
Cheers!

I believe I may have seen a few of the 40 foot "office" conversions chained down to a MOW flat as camp cars. I've definitely seen them as section houses.If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, items saved in our library or the ongoing development of our TSRE Fork, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating....

This mornings work, another 6 with one side done. obviously when i get through the finding and i have a bunch of one sides i have to doo the rest of the container sides, have found a few second sides and applied them during the morning though. i am going through all my sources finding all usable pics i want to use and doing the one side, once i know how many doubles i can make up i will then choose some for this project and then save the rest for the next and so on, but i think after i exhaust the ones i have prepared i will not want to see another 53 footer for a while.

No it will be exactly the same as the one in the photograph with just the aircon and lights removed as there is no FA to replicate those, virtually all rolling stock i do, containers, box cars etc are photo skins, i only do by hand the bits that you cannot see in the potos and as i cannot work with layers, everything i do is done on a .bmp file first then changed to and ace and .dds file at the end.

Man these look awesome. So glad to see modern Intermodal. Matson is a Hawaiian company they have both 53 and 40 footers. I especially like it when the cars have air hoses.

The containers that you show above are absolutely fantastic. I especially like is the four degrees of weathering on the CSX containers.

This morning made up both sides for a UMAX container and put the Twin Logistics on top of a J B Hunt as well as doing the opposite side of it, still roofs and ends to do for both of those.
Looking at the thousands of pics of containers i have access to, i have never found a Amazon container on top or underneath a UMAX or CSX container, all of the pics which were taken of entire consists in southern California between 2019 and 2022 generally find them on top or underneath J B Hunt containers in a well.

I've seen videos from the FEC with UMAX intermixed with CSX and FEC containers. If that helps.-Shawn K-

my comments above were related to Amazon prime containers mixed with UMAX or CSX on the same well, looks like i will have to look at some Utube vids when i get a chance
