40' HIGH CUBE CONTAINER

 Batch # 1 of our 40' HC containers will be shipping from the factory this week, so now is a good time for some details on this newly Tooled model. The model will have a magnetic system and 'IBC' pins for connecting with other containers. 'IBC' pin locations are based on scaling of 1:160, and are compatible with other brand containers with this same scaling location. We have tested, and this includes the Altas brand 40' standard height container. All JTC Intermodal containers in development will have this matching compatible system.Containers longer than 40’ will have ‘IBC' pins located at the 40’ ISO location, as most prototypes connect this way also. The model will have three magnets on the inside bottom and metal plates on the inside top. We feel that this is the best system for connectivity & compatibility. JTC also has Retro-fit under-frames in production to aid with compatibility with other brand containers. More on that in a separate information document.

 JTC takes modeling Intermodal seriously, and towards that Goal, we have tooled seven (7) different door configurations (below) to represent the prototype variances. Just as there are variances in boxcars & hoppers, Intermodal containers have a lot of noticeable variances in details also, especially in the doors. In 1:160 scale we do have some concessions that are practical to make, however, large items like doors are not one of those concessions – most of the time. With these seven door types, we can cover 95% of prototype schemes, there are still a few schemes that will need another door type.

 JTC has an aggressive schedule to produce an array of schemes to cover present-day activities, and of merged schemes that have been folded into larger conglomerates. So, get ready for a variety of Intermodal modeling opportunities, and explore the Intermodal scenes of Today, the 2000’s, and the 1990's, with these 40' HC containers and the growing JTC line of magnetically connected Intermodal model
