If
one models intermodal, the minute you get away from the track, you
need chassis. The cranes must put those boxes somewhere when they
come off the trains! The chassis that we offer is very representative
of NOKL 431025, as that is the prototype that was measured for this
tool! It is an "East Coast" style chassis, which doesn't mean that
it runs on the east coast, just that that's where the chassis style
started. The injection body captures the look of these skeletons
nicely, and can be used with or without a container mounted. The
kit is very easy to construct, and decals are readily available.
The chassis comes in six colors to represent most of the major owners
in the market
Black-----
NYK and Stevedoring Services of America are the two companies we
have seen in Black
Yellow-----
Great for OOCL and Dole Company chassis.
Blue-----
Maersk has a LOT of these guys, as does Hanjin and Cho Yang.
Green-----
Evergreen, Capital and Japan Lines have inventoried green
chassis
Red-----
The most popular color, it seems. Genstar, NYK, OOCL, IEA, SSA,
and many others use this one.
Grey-----
NOKL. There are several trucking companies using grey, but it is
also a great way to get the other colors that are out there, like
the gorgeous maroon ones from the Union Pacific.
These
are by NO MEANS the only colors available, nor are these owners
the only ones with these colors, nor do these owners only own these
colors, BUT this is a good starting place.
Have
fun building the container chassis. It's an easy kit, and can lead
to lots of neat scenery. Each package contains two injection molded
styrene chassis kits. The tires, bumper, mud flaps, and landing
gear are black; and the frames are available in six colors.
