Werner Enterprises Percyville Terminal in HO
Scale Part of HO Scale Desert Layout Project - 20/22 |
|
On my Mojave Desert Layout, Werner Enterprises built a
Terminal in the City of Percyville. To make it as real as possible, Pitsch Allneider created some one of a kind Werner Enterprises Models. |

different views.

| 53' Intermodal Container for Werner Global Logistics in HO Scale |

| Below are the first samples using the artwork of DigComDesigns just printed on cardboard. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| As we can see, the result is not satisfactory. Therefore, Pitsch Allneider was creating a plain scale body out of styrene to paste the printed artwork. In other words, he custom built the whole container. No question, I am very pleased with the result. It looks so realistic, even it is a smooth surface. Excellent job, Pitsch - thank you very much. (Photos above by Pitsch Allneider) |
| Here is a short introduction, how everything started. While browsing the internet, I realized that Werner Enterprises got some intermodal containers on rail services. So, I wanted to have some for my HO scale layout to fit my Percyville Terminal of Werner Enterprises. I was asking my friend Pitsch, if he could custom paint some undecorated 48' containers in Werner Blue color and add proper decals. Pat Chaney of Werner Enterprises supplied some artwork. Just before we started, we realized that 48' containers are not correct because they should be 53' long. While checking the internet again, we found DigComDesigns, who made the exact artwork for the correct 53' Werner Container. As seen above, the cardboard was not perfect, Pitsch printed it on self adhesive paper and wrapped it around the custom made container body shell (see below). |

| A 60 Years billboard was mounted on the front of the warehouse. On the other side I mounted a Werner Global Logistics sign. | |
 |
 |
| In real life, Werner was founded 60 years ago - 2420 | So, it was a must to create a huge billboard - 2421 |
 |
 |
| the new sign can easy be seen from main street - 2422 | the size is 60 x 65 mm (approx. 5,2 x 5,6 m) - 2423 |
