Would anyone be interested in a 28' drop frame pup trailer? If so I will see about packaging them up and uploading.

Thanks guys. I'll see about whipping up some converter dollies in connected and unconnected states, to go along with them.

So here is what I was thinking. Would you guys be ok with a trailer pack of something like the following:

-pup trailer landing gear up
-pup trailer landing gear down
-dolly connected position
-dolly disconnected position

I was thinking the above items would allow you to customize the set up of your parcel yards and arrangement of trailers or do you think all those separate items would be too much clutter for your scenery library?

Here's a wip of the dolly with the tire ao baked out.

Looks great. Now we need a couple of Buster Brown Freightliner or Mack daycabs.
Maybe a cracker box or two !!*ok*!!

I have a Mack F I started a good while back. I may have to dig it out and finish it up. It used to amaze me to see those tiny day cabs pulling doubles. You lost me on the cracker bock though? Is that the 40' drop frame?

I have a UPS depot under construction in the LINC, those trailers and clutter will look great. I put a siding into the depot (actually abandoned now) for TOFC loads.

The unofficial nickname of the GMC F model COE made from 1958 thru 1960. Because well they were square like a cracker box.

These are the cracker box's. The hardest thing the UPS driver had to do
was to climb in and out of them. There were quite a few injuries to drivers
from time to time do to falling from the cab.

Just a few adjustments and these should be good to go. I'll get on a cab over to go with them but it will probably be a bit as I have a few other things I want to finish up.
