Who made these CGW trailers?

I must have got these 20 years ago and can't remember who made them. I assume they are either AK-SAR-BEN or The Freight Yard.  I'd like to be able to list them for sale with the right manufacturer (I know they are Atlas trailers).

Thanks,

Jason

That looks like Atlas to me.

Sorry, you mean who lettered them?  You don't think it was Atlas?

I'm 99.5% sure it was a another manufacturer that painted them.  I think it's AK-SAR-BEN, but I could be confused with all the circus trailers my dad had.  I know The Freight Yard did some CGW locos but don't remember trailers.

Steve Campbell did those.  What was his banner before JTC?  Freight Yard might be right.  I have some in the original package that he sent after I sent some info for the artwork. 

Glad we have the Trainworx ones now!

Wasn't Steve Campbell "S&R Models"?

Thanks Mike, I'll see if that info gets me somewhere.   I offered to do some alternate artwork for a new run of trailers and Pat was up for it.  We'll see if I can get the time.

Thx, Doug, I'll follow up with that too.

Ah, yes.  S&R Special Edition Models sounds right.
