Hi Walt,
Those True Value trailers sure are crisp and minty fresh! The Tropicana cars remind me of home sweet home. I never see them at flea markets or garage sales. Your trailers would make one impresive train.
I have 2 Santa Fe, 2 BN, 2 Cattle and 1 SeaLand trailer. I guess there is no catching you, LOL.
Thanks for sharing
Mike

Nice, I just have two of the Santa Fe ones from when I was a kid. Both are missing parts from the bottom like the wheels and the little stand.

Camdenline - Thank you, I believe I have 13 Santa Fe trailers. Since they are most common, I never included them in my photos..
Smokie - Thank you. I have 64 trailers in all, many not pictured. I would like to see a string of these being pulled by your SD24s!! 
I have decided to stop buying anymore of the harder to get trailers other than I want 1 more Bubble Yum for an even 10. The others I have 6 each and that's enough.
For the more common trailers I still need 4 Burlington, and 4 Sea-Land and 2 Silver Santa Fe. If anyone has these and wants to sell them PM me...

I recently finished more of the six packs of piggys. Got the 10th & final Bubble Yum truck on Saturday. Got the 4 Burlington trailers in an auction a couple of weeks ago. Got 2 Silver Santa Fe trailers in an auction that arrived on Saturday.
I want 4 Sea-Land trailers to completely finish my collection... Anyone have them for sale?
PLEASE, help me end the insanity!!

I do know the similar Tyco "container Flat car" has the center logo in reversed colors.
I also noticed that these Sea-Land trailers have the ridges along the top for use with the , Loader / Unloaders ..

Hi Carl, I just noticed your reply on Sunday evening. Actually, I feel satisfied now with where I have decided to stop. I can't say that I won't buy a reasonably priced trailer or flat at a flea market or train show, but I am very comfortable saying to myself, I have enough now...
