This container / unit load is based on the Type B from the 1920’s. Used to carry everything from tea, bicycles, gramophones, furniture etc. Some containers were customer owned and used for only one product and others were owned by the railway companies themselves. Therefore container are ideal for different liveries and logos, everything from bland dull single colours to mobile adverts.
