ILTCO was an attempt to keep the lines of communication among clubs open. It fizzled out.

I didn’t build much last year, but here i go with a few pictures i posted recently on Brickshelf: Container flatbed car able to carry 2 20-Foot containers or 1 40-Foot container.

Those are very nice cars... do the containers interoperate/interchange with the recently released Maersk Train’s containers? If not, would it be a hard modification?

I’m thinking that it might be time to switch away from the old 4 wide container standard and adopt that one, it’s now “LEGO defacto” standard...

Models are build after pictures i found in a model railroad magazine.

I have now 11 container wagons in the colors green & blue (Belgian railroad - NMBS) and red (German railroad - DB)

(snipped the pics, they are huge (but cool)...)

Here a pair of pictures of my cereal wagon.

Also very nice, the rounded top is a nice effect.

Note: The logo is PRINTED on the bricks.

How did you get that done? In the US, Tommy Armstrong prints things for folks, do you have a similar person in NL?

Regards and enjoy my little contribution.

I certainly did, thanks for sharing.
