Evergreen Werner and Yellow! Expensive month.

Nice. The Santa Fe and the TT Twin-Stacks... era appropriate for 1987-89?

Yes, SFLC 254006 and 254011 were new in 3-87. Both ended up with BNSF marks in the 236000 series.

$18 a trailer is an awful lot, but I've gotta get a few of each.  Especially the Yellow ones.

Now if only there were proper tractors.

Any chance we can get some Werner and Yellow (with YRC too maybe?) decals for the trucks like you made up for Swift, JB Hunt, Arnold, and Ryder?  I know your previous ones were primarily designed for Kato's Volvo tractor, and Werner is a Peterbilt/Freightliner and YRC/Yellow did operate Volvos but almost all in day-cabs, but still, I can make use of the decals on something if they're just generic logos.

Willmodels is producing some newer day cabs in the near future. They have a Durastar out now which is quite good. They should work well with the Yellow trailers.

As much as I hate solid-resin vehicles, I'd make an exception if I had to for good trucks.  I hadn't seen their Durastar before, but just took a look, and it is pretty nice.  And you can't argue with the price.  I'm gonna order a few and a couple of his trailers while I'm at it.

The Genstar containers and the data only trailers are nice to see.  I would really like to see the earlier Genstar logogram (plain white) and the Triton brick red containers at some point.

Evergreen and Zim are all tempting Mr. Wallet...

$18 a trailer is an awful lot, but I've gotta get a few of each...

Since the trailers are based on the RoadRailer mold set which uses 27 separate parts, it makes them a little more expensive than a purpose-designed highway trailer. Something I have given a lot of thought to. I'm still waiting for it to rain working capital.

We are behind on getting the first batch of decals out. It turns out the artwork we did has elements that are too small to print. We are working on revising it. Once I see how well they sell (or perish the thought, do not) then a decision will be made on the next batch. Logically we would have new decals available when the trailers hit the market.

Tim,
Glad to hear a couple things are of interest to you. Given enough time, we will produce just about every scheme that appeared on our body styles.
