Walt, you're going to need a real semi trailer to store all of these.

Yes, Nelson you may be right! I couldn't pass this one up, the crisp colors complete with brake wheels. After selling 15 trailers days ago, I now have 86 trailers and 38 flat cars for them...

Hey Walt:
There are probably cult deprogrammers in your state!?
My favourite of these is an old Penn Line Metal one from the 50's
Are you aware of the Sylvan kits?

Gareth, Those are nice trailers in the link you put up. I had never seen those before. Much nicer than the ones I buy but I guess I'm stuck in the old Tyco school. As hard as I've tried to change that it seems to not happen...
MicroBen, I don't even know why I buy these trailers... I had a Santa Fe flat back in the 70s and I didn't like it much 'cus the trailers would move around on the flat car...

Hey Walt:
The way it was explained to me by an NMRA "Master Modeller" I'm happy (So's my wallet) to say, is you put units like the Sylvan in just a few strategic locatioins on a layout, and fill with stuff of lesser quality....
The overall effect is very attractive....

Thank You for the info on the trailers Gareth...
I must say after receiving this lot of 4 train cars, that they are four of the nicest pieces I've seen in a while. The only flaw to the whole lot is the brake wheel on the DuPont tanker is gone. The Tyco boxes they come in are not the best.
The Spirit Of 76 box car is most impressive of them all in absolute flawless condition and shiney red paint...
