Containers for Koki cars

[keiichi77]

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows if a web page exists that shows all the different paint schemes on Koki car containers? I have seen a few models with anime characters on the containers and was wondering if the prototype ever did this?  Most of prototype trains I have watched on youtube show the basic JR, JRF, DOT etc. Any info would be appreciated.

You know, I once had bookmarked a page that contained nothing but carefully documented photos of Japanese containers. I'll have to find that bookmark for you!

 

(And the anime character containers you saw: if it's these http://tetsudou-musume.net/ then it's not at all prototypical :D )

Thanks Capt, I did see those characters on some of the model containers, there was another batch as well, probably from another anime. I hope you still have that bookmark and that the page still exists. :)

It's not all, and they're rather utilitarian (no anime or manga characters), but there are some representative pictures here:

I've seen anime characters on a real container (I think it was in a video), but I never kept a link.

 

In most contemporary pictures the brown JR 19D is likely to be the most common (there are over 28,000 of them out there). But there are a lot of private-owner containers as well, and they vary quite a lot.

Beat me to it. That's the site I had bookmarked! Here is a direct link to the good stuff on that site:

Excellent site Capt and KenS.  What a variety of containers. I will have to look around for the Coke container, somebody has to make them. No anime containers on the site but I might get one someday anyway to break up the fleet of brown JRF containers.

 

After much searching this is what I want to get (over time) to make up my 20 car Koki train (with mostly brown JRF containers)

 

2 @ Koki  50000 series  brown Kato Hobby Search $33.69 (2 cars, 10 containers)

2 @ Koki  250000 series green Tomix can't find instock anywhere (no containers)

1 @ Koki  350000 series orange Tomix can't find instock anywhere (no containers)

as you can see I have 9 cars in my list that don't come with containers so lots of unique containers to choose from.

 

thanks again
