OIT - Collection of more LNER-Containers (1-148)

OIT - Origin of intermodal transport, earlier British road-rail container

Here are some more containers of the London and North Eastern Railway:
- A-type container of diagram D5, in total 300 were built in 1931 just after 250 A-type containers of diagram A4 were built in 1929. Correspondingly the new containers were numbered A251 till A550.
- A-type container of diagram D24, of which another 300 were built in 1935/1936, numbered A552 till A851.
A-type containers, nearly 7’ long were that time equivalent to todays 20’-containers. Where B-type containers, somewhat more than 16’ long were the equivalent to todays 40’-containers.
- BC-type containers of diagram D22, of which 19 were built in 1935 and another 10 in 1937, numbered BC613-631 and BC967-976, where equipped with special shelfs and fittings to transport bicycles in two layers.
- BK-type containers of diagram D23, as sister design of D22, of which 200 were built in 1935, numbered BK632-831, where equipped with fittings to transport furniture, mostly for house removal business.
- BD-type containers of diagram D29, of which 100 were built in 1937 and another 200 in 1939, numbered BD978-1077 and BD1278-1477, where basically standard B-type containers for transporting goods, but with additional side doors.
- BK-type containers of diagram D31, as sister design of D29, of which 200 were built in 1938, just between the both batches of BD-Containers and were, oh wonder numbered BK1078-1277, again equipped with internal fittings to transport furniture for house removal business.

I think I now have created a quite good cross-section of the LNER containers. Hope someone else has use of them.
Most containers are available in two versions, one optimized for resin print and one better fitting for FDM-printers.

I have to thanks Carlislecitadel2@Thingverse! He helped me a lot to get more and better information about British road-rail containers, so I can continue the “containerization”-theme at a higher level. Many thanks to him!

All models sized for British n-scale (1:148). Conversion values:
Continental N-scale, 1:160 -> 92.5%
TT-gauge, 1:120 -> 123%
HO/H0-gauge, 1:87 -> 170%
OO/00-gauge, 1:76 -> 195%
S-gauge, 1:64 -> 231%
O-gauge, 1:48 -> 308%

Note: Some of the A- and B-type containers got metric data descriptions drawn on the sides. This would only be done for containers travelling to continental Europe and we know from the example found in Belgium (see below), that for sure the BK-type travelled to the continent. So, it is reasonable to use these containers also as cargo in layouts portraying BeNeLux or France.
Concerning the liveries I asked the LNER-forum and got feedback, that all should be LNER-blue with white lettering, I’m a little in doubt, that this is always the case, especially concerning the BK that might also be oxide red with golden colour lettering, like the container that was found in Belgium:

I made decals for all, but the BK-containers, as for them I used decals from Fox-transfers:

The PDF-file contains templates for making DIY-decals for the other containers in different scale.
