After two years of lurking, I made my first drawing! FD Trainbucket style, with a compact template I will only use in this topic.

Coming soon :

Love it!

Since this is FD Scale, these drawings must be shown in the FD template. Otherwise, it looks great. Nice work.

I can never tell the differences between the various GEVO types...

Thanks!

I'll try to figure out the fonts and specificities to make a correct template.

Military 20' containers
Neutral, brown
Neutral, brown
Neutral, brown, ADR pictogram 9
Neutral, brown, ADR pictograms 9 and 2.2

[IMAGE UPDATED, NO LONGER AVAILABLE - ALL DRAWINGS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS THREAD]

Those containers belong to the US military (Department of Defense or US Army ?). They are used to carry dangerous materiel by train.
ADR 2.2 = non-toxic and non-flammable gases
ADR 9 = miscellaneous dangerous substances

If you're wondering why I draw these in that order, I am simply reproducing the exact composition of an existing military train I found on YouTube ^^

Very nice drawings, BUT the proper templates look like this... (minimum 1000x330 pixels, orange lines are just to help with alignment so don't have to be necessarily used and of course need to be removed before posting the final version)

Container ownership:

If Department of Defense (Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command), containers are ISO coded DODU
US Army > USAU oftenly green or tan painted
US Navy > USNU
US Marine Corps > USMU
US Air Force > USFU
Naval Air Systems Command > NMAU

If other ISO code, there was leased... or more than 25 years old.

Hi,

I'll make the final and intermediary results of my military train in the official template. Using this compact one for temporary files is easier for now, but I'll make sure to use the one Eswube gave !

@Caddaric thanks for the information, turns out my containers are USAU thus US Army

- UPDATE -

Military 20' containers

Added blue, white, grey versions as seen on my military train.
