OIT – LNER-Meat-container (1-148)

Origin of intermodal transport, LNER-Meat-container Diagram 18 and 25

Here are the most common meat containers of the London & North Eastern Railway, the ventilated BM-type container of diagram 18 for transporting fresh meat and the insulated FM-type of diagram 25 for transporting deep frozen meat. In total 136 of the BM-type were built in 1933/1934 and 400 of the FM in 1935/1936 and another 100 in 1940. Some of them were used in early days of British railways at least until 1958.

Each container is available in two versions, one for resin printing and one better for FDM-printers.

Decals are available for DIY-print as PDF-files. For the FM-type there is an early and a late livery of the LNER, as well as BR-livery. For the BM-type we found only pictures of an probably earlier LNER-livery and to make it more complicated it’s white letters on red oxide body… I could these decals print only after I found white toner for my laser printer:
