I'm especially thinking of something you'd see on Seaboard, ACL, or very early SCL.

Trainworx is your friend.
The Railwire is not your personal army.  :trollface:

Beat me to that comment.

Also Athearn.

40ft trailers.  You want lots of those.  Maybe a couple Atlas 20 footers but not too many, or none at all because the Trainworx and Athearn are better models.

Trailer Trailer cars should be the brown/boxcar red. The yellow Trailer Train scheme debuted in 1970.

Can provide more detail on trailer schemes when I've a bit more time.

You probably want some 35 footers too.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
