TOFC on The Feather River Canyon

[QcRail]

... Starting a new serie, around non railroad semi-trailers; I shall focus on enterprises that could have used TOFC service.

AS a example here are two versions of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. with logos of 50s and 60s. It is difficult to find period logos or graphics worth using as most problems stem form poor text or fuzzy graphics - but I shall not give up

Nice!

Great job on the Navajo trailers. In the day, each trailer was hand lettered by professional sign painters. What we call the "pre decal days". That procedure was right around the corner.

Thanks, found great vintage graphics for 2 US icons : Snap-on tools and Harley-Davidson The Snap-on Tolls van will be a challenge but should be a winner.

How about it ?

They all look awesome! I like the Snap-On purple.

I like the trucks from the 50's-60's. This is a short lived 53 White cab-over. Only in production for 2 years.

WOW! a real beauty. This one escaped me. It will figure in my bucket list, with high priority I'll do further research to get additional graphics and if I can't locate any I'll get back to you

I'll be traveling for a while, thus my production shall SLOW down - again thanks.

P.S. Any 3D expert interested in doing this type of van with the rounded top and front end (and the wing detail ); it would add to a whole new ball game in TOFC?

[QcRail]

Work in Progress

I thought a new version of 45ft trailers would add a look to TOFC consists - here is my first version of a tarp covered trailer; a second one with a solid black tarp and no markings is in the works

Awesome, more variety!

[QcRail]

I could not resist

As a western commodity, grains are a part of a wide-spread industry and on the Adriana County Rte. these trailers are a common sight.

... should be included in my first TOFC package
