Just noticed that Atlas announced on Aug. 5 another run of the Trainman 20-foot containers, in Evergreen Line, Hanjin, MOL and K Line names. Wasn't in the catalog. Did a quick search of topics and didn't see this, but sorry if it's already been discussed.

And delivery this month, too!!! 
Nice to see pleasant surprises like this... adds to the fun of the hobby. Quite frankly, the concept of "needing to pre-order everything" has gotten old.

Awesome!! Just what I've been waiting for. Thanks for the heads up!!
Oooooh yum, great flavors! Gotta call the Muffin man.
I gotta know if the mol with dark grey is current century or previous century decoration.
There are still some MOL containers with the dark gray and the gator or croc on the sides in service. This container was in a CN railway intermodal train passing through Michigan on Friday, August 5th, 2016.
Railroads will put 2 of the 20' containers in the 53' well container cars like the ones coming soon.
Has anybody made a frame to hold 4 of the 20' containers on an Atlas O 89' long flat car?

Nice. Are the blue Hanjin containers seen anywhere?

There's pix on RR Pictures Archives - lots of them - here's one:

I've had trouble posting links, so if that doesn't work, just search for RR Pictures Archives Containers Hanjin. The number range in the Atlas image is around Page 21.

Thank you for the link!
A blue Hanjin 20' container was in a TTX Thrall Car 40' well car in a train headed East through Michigan this Tuesday.

I haven't actually met the Muffin man, but I have spoken to him on the phone a few times. He's my go to guy for Atlas!
I'll get excited when someone releases Alaska Marine Lines containers. Releasing K line and evergreen containers isn't exactly ground breaking.
Received email from dealer this afternoon that he has received the containers. Mighty quick.

Still, for those of us who aren't modeling 21st century intermodal, K Line and Evergreen containers would be a big help.
