"Do you come from a land down under?"
Who else thinks Atlas should have released matching 45' containers with their recent new run of Hyundai 40 ft'ers?

Oh, the President will not be happy with this! 
20 years ago the APL containers and well cars used to be common on the GTW intermodal trains. Now they have moved to other railroads.
I hope that Atlas O will be able to produced new Intermodal Containers again sometime in 2014.

Martin, nice container and great color match!!
Thanks Jeff. It is a very close match, might look even better when I hit it with the flattener.
I am determined to never buy an airbrush. Now if only I could find a close match to TTX yellow in a rattle can!
The 45ft APL's pictured above are very common on the secondary market and can be had cheaper than most. Obviously it would be more logical to start with one of Atlas undecorated models.

Great Work Martin... Colors look great..
Martin very nice work on the container.
Looks real good.
That looks very good. 
Beautiful job Martin. I must say I'm curious why you don't like air brushes.
Thanks for all the compliments, guys. Here's a shot of the other end:
As for Jeff's question, I just think an airbrush sounds like a big hassle and hard to do. And it requires a dedicated, ventilated workspace that I don't have.
Anzani Racer, thanks for the tip. I looked at both those web sites.
I plan to make one more 45' Hyundai so I will have two for my all Hyundai Maxi-I. This was a fun project!
