> I just purchased a few Walthers 48' trailers from eBay.   Price 
> sticker on them was $4.48 each.   With shipping they cost me closer to 
> $8.00 each which isn't too bad.  I had 40' ones and 45' ones, but 
> needed a few 48' ones for my period on the Santa Fe (1990-1995).

> I saw this post today.   Look at the price increase on their

> but is it necessary for most of us and purpose.

> *Within the next few days, Walthers will be publicly announcing an 
> all-new 40' Trailmobile trailer in HO scale.   The artist rendering 
> lookd pretty nifty, although mudflaps are not shown.   Roads include 
> Conrail Trailvan, Crab Orchard & Egyptian, IC, SF, B&M, and CWN 
> Falcon. They will retail for $29.98 each.*
> * *
> *Also in the July announcements, they are finally bringing back the HO 
> 53' Stoughton, offered in two packs (those are the type I bought,but 
> the 48' ones).   I have been working with Walthers on this for years, 
> and it's finally coming to light.   While most of the roadnames clash 
> with the vintage of the trailer, it at least gives modelers some 
> customizing possibilities.   And finally, some sort of modern FedEx 
> Freight that can be worked into today's hot pig trains.   Roads 
> include CR England, Ryder, FedEx Freight, Schneider, JB Hunt 
> Intermodal, Swift, Landstar, and XTRA.*

> *Lastly, they are re-releasing the HO 50' TTX Front Runner.   Looks to

> these packs are XTRA (Invest in America), Conrail Trailvan, 
> TransAmerica, BN, and SF.*

> Hard to say what the other items will retail for, but suppose you 
> wanted to have 10 89' TOFC flats in your train.  If you got 20 40' 
> trailers, that would set you back $600 not to mention the cost of the 
> flats.   Probably the 10 car train would run up to $1,000 if you had 
> to purchase retail today.
