DB Cargo Br 152 / ES 64 F EuroSprinter, 152 074-1, passes Hannover Linden/Fischerhof with an intermodal train of deep sea containers including some on DB Lgs four-wheel flats as 50304 from Kornwestheim Rbf to Maschen Rbf, running 160 minutes late
Container with Coleus, Dracaena Marginata, Moneywort, Persian Shield, Blue Diascia, and Pink Calibrachoa
A quick build for CopMike's Container Raffle on Eurobricks. Also served as a good opportunity to try out a corrugated texture design I've been considering for some time.
Used to move shipping containers. The points on the boom lock into the the top corners of the containers. This was built to complement set 10219-1 Maersk Train so that the containers can be unloaded from the train to the truck.
This is a Zulu Igulu or container from South Africa. It is today part of the collection of the UBC Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver, Canada, where its museum catalogue number is K5 132 a-b
These are a bulk carrier and a container ship, each folded from a US currency note. This must be the first time I had the chance of designing and building complete ships. In my undergrad days studying to become a naval architect, I had a small role to play in building a jack-up rig and the QE2 while working in a shipyard in Upper Clyde. Yes, it's true when I tell friends that I've been on the QE2 several time. That was my only experience in building ships, except the present one.

A westbound CSX container train passes a high car detector on the New Castle Subdivision near New London, Ohio. Given that this train has no double-stacked containers, no alarms are likely to be triggered.
Here's a container I potted up with some of my favorite succulents. I especially like the Kalanchoe "Flapjacks" in the back with the reddish tinged leaves.
"In 1955, former trucking company owner Malcom McLean worked with engineer Keith Tantlinger to develop the modern intermodal container. The challenge was to design a shipping container that could efficiently be loaded onto ships and would hold securely on long sea voyages. The result was a 8 feet (2.44 m) tall by 8 ft (2.44 m) wide box in 10 ft (3.05 m)-long units constructed from 2.5 mm (0.098 in) thick corrugated steel. The design incorporated a twistlock mechanism atop each of the four corners, allowing the container to be easily secured and lifted using cranes. After helping McLean create the successful design, Tantlinger convinced him to give the patented designs to industry; this began international standardization of shipping containers."

Finally took a few decent pictures of my new container car. Color green dictated by the fact that part 30036 comes only in green, white, black and dark bluish gray.
I've had this thing about shipping containers for a while, probably since I read this article: The 20-Ton Packet.
Yesterday, I took my son with me to take some photos. Taught him some stuff about photography (and may have inadvertently taught him about trespassing).

Imagine having one of them fall on your head?
Industry experts estimate that anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 containers fall off ships each year, less than 1% of the number of containers sent by sea annually but representing a huge cost to those who lose cargo to the ocean. The loss of even one shipping container, which can be 20 feet to 40 feet long and 8 feet high and may hold millions of small parts, could shut down a manufacturing line.
