I just forwarded this to a buddy, with the note that he and I need to simply get it over with and send our paychecks straight to Trainworx.

I'm likin those trailers...yummy !

Except for the Action Road , I think I can use the rest . Anybody know the earliest in use dates of everything ?

[Bob Bufkin]

Nice, real nice.  Will probably spring for at least one.  Now my complaint (woldn't be Railwire without one).  Where are my plain jane red TTX ones?  I can get UP, DRG, ATSF, etc but not the TTX.

Oh how I wish Trainworx would dabble in more modern fare - a 53' reefer trailer, for example. 

I bet these offerings will look great on Danneman's Moffatt Road though!

I was thinking the exact same thing,

Wanting to know he same for all of TW's trailers, I asked Pat to establish the dates of the models/schemes. He's done so on the website.

Thanks . Wow , that home run turned to be tagged out at the plate .

In so doing, Pat did a great service to modelers, at the risk of losing some business!

It's difficult to find photos of DRGW intermodal equipment from the 1960s. A recently purchased  1962 DRGW Annual Report came with an unexpected surprise: a photograph of four 40' DRGW pig trailers. Here's the link to my scan:

Thanks for sharing!

Would love to get one of these to put into my early 70s mix.

I think informed modelers make happy modelers. Doubt keeps people from buying more than foobies.

As for the  Rio Grande trailerage in that pic, is that an NP or SP flat the last two are riding on?

I wish I could say. I've blown up the scan (1600 dpi), but it's just too blurry. I don't think it's an SP flat, though - at least, not an SP flat with the same lettering pattern as the lead flat...
