I've sold more flats than I have in stock, please be patient while I wait for more.

Could use this type of trailer for the flats .

Rich, I am laser cutting rather plain wooden circus work wagons with rubber tires. I see no problem laser cutting acrylic sides to give them the steel sided look. The tongue would be easy to laser, the steps would not be so fun. If you don't have to have super precise decals from an ALPS I can print them on my home printer. The catch is that it would have to have my circus' markings :D

Here is proto info on the 2 types of flats

My research has come up with 70 and 72 feet for the Warren Elephant car , but the sources of both are un-reliable IMO , even if either number or both are correct .

I know all about the real cars, I want to know how long the model cars are.

The kits didn't come in today's mail so I can't physically measure it, sorry. But I am waiting for an email from the maker to get your answer. In the meantime he sent me a scan of the instructions and I put them into PDF. If you want to see it please email me and I'll email a copy to you.  contact@stonebridgemodels.com
