SDS 40' container new run

SDS have announced a new run of their Australian 40' containers, initially released in various TNT liveries.  The new run, actually indicated a while ago, will feature many of the other liveries that these boxes carried in Australia.

Reach Stackers in HO

As far as I know, there are only three scale models in 1/87. Two are from Kibri, and the other is from Herpa.
The Kibri machines are also available under the Walthers brand, but are the same kit. The model of the Kalmar unit was produced in red plastic, but is now available in yellow. This is kit 11752.

The other Kibri unit, is a forklift type, kit number 11751.

The third machine from Herpa, is a Liebherr LRS 645; and has been produced in various colours. It also coasts about three as much as the Kibri kits.

Reach Stackers in 1/76 OO scale

In 2013 Oxford diecast released a model of Konecranes 4542 reach staker. Initially the model was released for Atlas Partworks series on Stobart vehicles, in Stobart blue livery.
It was then released through the Oxford diecast Oxford Haulage brand in the pale blue Konecranes paint livery.

The next release was in Malcohm blue/green and yellow paint scheme.

The Stobart liverywas re-released in late 2014, this time under the Oxford Diecast branding.

The fourth release (or fifth) has been in NATO green paint.

So far, this model is the only 1/76 scale model available of a reach stacker.

 Due in 2016, in Stobart red.

Swire containers

Found this Swire container down at Port Flat container depot, Port Adelaide, partly hidden behind bushes, so snapped a photo. Recently I came across more, almost a entire trains worth, coming through from Melbourne on a Patrick (Pacific National) service.

They were all standard height 20' boxes in nice fresh painted livery. Some are marked eco containers with bamboo flooring, others not. No models of this livery available in any scale.
