      This may be a bit off topic. I've noticed that the Causecontainer says "Snap it. Tag it. Post it." on the side. Usually, the term Tag is identified with graffiti. This is a bit puzzling to me. Can anyone explain.

        That refers to using a hashtag, it's a social media thing. Take a photo of it, put a hashtag for the post, and then post it on some social media site.

          Oh, it looks very nice, better than my attempts. The cooler unit in particular is more modern.
          None of my cooler trailers had a tank. Are they also available with the Wind Blades?

            this is because if you photograph any of the cause trailers and post them on a social media site HUB will donate $100 to the charity

              the trailer textures, reefer and fuel tank were part of an FA that Jeff Auberpine sent to me to wrap around the SLI versions that were done, as i want to put these sets out as freeware i took the FA and edited it in wordpad to remove the trailer body as it does not work with the David Rowie spines, i then took the truck textures and resized them to fit on David's ace file and used the reefer and tank as an FA for those, Jeff did send me a few different trucks done that way and i will get round to uploading them in his name but you will need whatever SLI shapes that they were intended to fit. i am allowed to do this as he gave me permission before he left the hobby to do that with anything he had produced but not uploaded,

              as to the reference to being available with wind blades i do not understand to what you are refering

                  Oh right, No Jeffs FA's did not have those. I assume they are part of the truck bed as they could not be attached to the container, so i guess if Jeff's FA was used on a shape that included the wing under the truck trailer bed then it is possible to create that.

                      This is what my 53ft trailers with cooler and wind blades look like, here using wagon A as an example.

                        Yes that's on the newer SLI/TS shapes, i am not using those and David's shapes do not have it, neither do the FA's from Jeff.

                            Oh my! That is nice - but fyi, XPO is now STG Logistics, so the XPO containers on rail are fewer and fewer.

                              XPO has switched over the STG for a name? Doesn't seem like that long ago that XPO took over a bunch of companies...

                                XPO is still in the LTL business, we use them pretty frequent at work. XPO did sell the intermodal business to STC Logistics though
