Did everyone else get theirs?

I'm going to look at some options for wheeled landing gear which should finish the 'look' of a CGW trailer.

In my defense, when I ordered these, I didn't know if Atlas was going to unleash the 6' door PS-1 which may be a bigger hit to the wallet than this.  :lol:

I got mine, all one of them, along with the rest of my order.  These weren't that common in the Northwest, but one will make an occasional appearance.

For wheeled landing gear I'd steal a set from a Classic Metal Works trailer.

The CMW's could work but I think the Athearn Z-Vans are a little closer to what I'd like.  I e-mailed Athearn last week, but I haven't heard back yet if they are available or how much they may be.

I forgot about the Athearn trailers, not having many of them.  On the other hand, I have CMW trailers to spare, having bought them on sale at the local hobby shop.  It was cheaper to get the tractor-trailer sets than just the tractors, and the trailer wheels came in handy for other projects.

It'd be nice to see a second run of these, but Trainworx does not seem to do that - hence the feeding frenzy. Can't say I blame anyone above.

If there's a second run, I'm hoping to talk Pat into doing the first series.  The lettering is slightly different including 'Lift Here' markings, the refer unit and tank are reversed and the tank is green.

The CGW had other refers without the fancy lettering and also had some dry vans so any superfluous trailers, will be repurposed.
