Hatuma Lime containers

Hatuma Lime has been a big user of rail since their works at Hatuma in the Hawke's Bay opened.

These days they're using 20ft containers with removable canvass roofs - you can see a short rake of these containers on Google Maps. Some clearer pics below... but first two other shots. About 20 years ago Hatuma were using 1/2 size 20ft containers, cut in half, and mounted on PK class container wagons. Here's a pic from Rails magazine (remember them?) in the 1990s:

They also had this cool looking unloader thingee (and shed) in Marton. The unloader is still there but apparently it's not serviced by rail anymore, which is a shame.

And now a more modern shot:

Pretty straightforward design. Standard 20ft container without a roof. Here's what I've whipped up:

Will add this to the GT order I think...
