3D model description

Origin of intermodal transport, typical meat/reefer container of the London Midland & Scottish railway

Since 1929, till 1948 the LMS built and used different types of containers mostly for transporting meat, but also other perishable goods. More than 1500 containers were built in 15 different versions under the class letters BM, BR, F, FM and FR. The whole BR class (125 pieces) and the late BM-versions I already covered here:
https://www.printables.com/model/407423-oit-lms-brbm-type-containers-1-148

With the two BM-steel containers of LOT 666 and LOT 721 ed now, of which 20 pieces were built in 1932/33 and 130 pieces were built in 1933/34 correspondingly, also the BM class (for transport of fresh meat in ventilated containers) is now fully covered. These were the only steel containers used by LMS for meat transport, all others were wooden types.

Out of the 300 containers of the smaller F-class (12’,7”-long) the LOT585,614&655 built 1931/32 in 250 pieces is by far the most common one.

Within the 956 larger FM-class (14’7” long) the LOT948&1054 built in1936/37 is the type built in largest numbers with 400 pieces. Together with the LOT1300/1462/1531 built in 1941, 1947 and 1948 respectively in total 356 pieces these both types represents by far the most common examples of FM-containers.

The only class not covered at all is the FR-type for transporting imported meat and fruits with only 20 pieces. All F-classes (F, FM, FR) are insulated containers.

The LMS used also a small number of highly insulated A-type containers (later together with LNER) but these are very special and I decided not to model them to.

Many of these containers were for sure transferred to British Railway and still used in the fifties.

Each container model is available in two versions, one for resin printing and one better for FDM-printers.

Decals are available for DIY-print as PDF-files (not ed by Cults, see printables or thingiverse). Being all black lettering on white body, decals can be printed at home with standard printer.
Hope these containers help to bring this interesting piece of history of intermodal transport on your layout or diorama.

I have to thanks Carlislecitadel2@Thingverse! He helped me a lot in getting more and better information about British road-rail containers. Many thanks to him!

As always, all models sized for British n-scale (1:148). Conversion values:
Continental N-scale, 1:160 -> 92.5%
TT-gauge, 1:120 -> 123%
HO/H0-gauge, 1:87 -> 170%
OO/00-gauge, 1:76 -> 195%
S-gauge, 1:64 -> 231%
O-gauge, 1:48 -> 308%
