Jacksonville Terminal Company TIPHOOK 20' Std Height Containers ~ 205302
N Scale 1:160, JTC-205302 TIPHOOK 20’ Std. height containers.
Tiphook PLC was a United Kingdom headquartered transport services company, registered on the London and New York stock markets, which became the world’s second largest marine container leasing business in the 1990s. The Company was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. After a debt-fuelled buying spree in the late 1980s, it crashed in the early 1990s after accounting changes brought about by its expansion into North America brought about a technical and then actual default in its debt. It's containers were bought by Transamerica. Transamerica sold to become TAL, who later merged with TITON. It is a convoluted history, with TIPHOOK containers remaining in their scheme for many years after changing owners.
