Re: new tamiya release this year
The Santa Fe painted this GP60M for Maersk, strictly for advertising photos. The photos were taken and the locomotive went back to Santa Fe and was repainted their red and silver warbonnet scheme,it never pulled one load in regular revenue service.

Re: new tamiya release this year
How about a MiJack such as the one that I used to unload empty can under in Omaha.
 And since we are talking about Maersk, here is one I had. I pulled these containers out of the BN yard in Omaha, NE and hauled them up to Beresford, SD to a regional furniture company's warehouse. Paul, and the rest of you in the MN, SD, ND, IA states know that company as Slumberland Furniture.  -Mike

Re: new tamiya release this year
Trailer and container look nice but why does Tamiya always make things for Europe? I see many more 48' to 53' containers now than ever before. Singles on trailer are just not what I see everyday.

Personally, this "new release" does zip zero for me. Tamiya added a couple new parts to the reefer chassis, added a Seacan to it, and marketed it. It's still based on a Euro chassis, which has no appeal to me. Hoping that the Maersk decals will generate world wide interest and appeal in this new release is almost embarrassing. Guess it doesn't really matter. A certain someone has probably already got dibs on the first dozen that will hit the states anyways, and he will be parting them out. Going back to my lonely , dark corner of the sandbox now..........
