Train-worx CGW Trailers

[wcfn100]

I got a nice package in the mail today.



Soooooo much decaling I don't have to do now!

CGW trailers and 85' flats... I have to build something to put these on. 

A huge thank you to Pat at Train-worx for doing these (flats too).  I only hope they sell well enough to do the other number series (with slight variation in the lettering).  As a reminder, CGW served the heart of the meat packing industry, so unless your RR is vegetarian, you might need a couple.

If I can find one of those at Springfield it's coming home with me... Those are great!

Those are nice.  What would be build dates for those?  I am guessing they are later than my era.  Like early 1970's?

Hi Paul,

The 504200 series is from 1964.  If you need to fudge a couple more years, the 504000 series looks nearly the same and were from 1962.

Cool!  Thanks for the info, Jason!

Do you know if the CB&Q C&NW & D C Trucking trailers have arrived. Also have the B&O C&O trailers and C&O 85' flatcars shipped yet.

I don't know about any of those, but if they were with the same pre-order as the CGW cars, I imagine they should be here soon.

Wow!!  I've been asleep at the wheel.  CGW will always have a special appeal for me.  Added to my list!

And from where did this package arrive?  Direct from Trainworx, by chance? I keep checking the MBK site and the trailers have yet to appear...

Pat was nice enough to send me a couple for assistance with the artwork.  But they came in regular jewel boxes so I assume that they are not too far off.

MBK has them up on their site as of last night.

(They also have some Trainworx Santa Fe 85' flats for sale @ $9.95.)

Aaaaaaaaaand they're gone! 

Now I have to worry about something happening to the 24 I have on order.

Strange CGW is the only one sold out.

That's what first tier railroads do.

There's a quick bit of trailer action at the beginning of this Hormel video.
