Other then the Livestock trailer on shapeways

http://www.shapeways.com/model/1237660/1-160-n-scale-53-spread-axle-livestock-trailer.html?li=shop-results&materialId=61

Are there any others offered? I had some etched metal ones years ago but don't remember who made them.

And any ideas for wood trailers from the 30's and 40's ?

Given how well HuskerN has been able to get those to paint up, I"m sure they will fill your needs.

This one from Lineside Models, if you can find one.  I've been searching for several years and no luck so far...
http://www.rphobbies.com/1960s-stock-trailer.html
 It's a 60's/70's era one, but if you have ever lived in rural midwest America you know they were around for a long, long time and probably still are in some instances. 

As an aside, I think HuskerN's is pretty bad a$$, if it fits your era.

Doug,

I've been trying to get RP to re-release its trailer kit for years now.  He keeps saying he will but it never happens.  Maybe if we all gang up on him at once he'll get the point?

OK, well I just sent in my request via their "Contact Us" web form, so everyone, fire away!   :trollface: :o BTW, if you have an e-mail address for him then please share...who know if the form is active or pointing to a valid e-mail address.

Contact Husker via his shapeways info. He can probably tear through creating a 60's version in his sleep! :D
