New Containers, W19D ???

[defor]

Saw these containers (In fully populated Koki's) on three occassions during my last trip at the end of August:

Each time I wasn't ready in time with camera.

Anyone know what the story is with them? they clearly look like they've been rebadged, but I don't understand the meaning of "環" in the circle that's on them.

W is for inturnally insulated I think.

 

So maybe just old 19D and they added insulation.

A friend is telling me that they actually are for waste transport, I.E. recycling transport, and the yellow mark is indicative of this....

Correct, they are for waste transport, hence the "W" designation.

I wonder what type of waste?

 

I have the W18F containers from the Koki 107 set.

Basically almost anything, starting from ash from municipal incinerators, sewage sludge, waste oil, all the way to PCBs.

 They are waste management conversions of some of the older 19D's that have gone in for refurbishment, I am unsure as to how many have been converted but I know there are at least 15 of them looking at the photo's I have seen, the use of numbering sequences to get an idea of how many there are is no good as the containers are picked from throughout the fleet and have the W Prefix added to them after conversions. With the W18F's on the other hand there was only 10 of them, they were built in 2008 and are only used in Hokkaido.

I also have the C1513 W19D pack as part of my collection.

I guessed as much. Looks like they just grabed somecontainers near their end of life. Painted on a W and only used them for waste from the point on knowing said waste may be hazardious.
