Something New - 1960s/70's TOFC

These look great, Pete
I would be interested in intermodal containers on trailer chassis on flats. I'm not aware of a lot of diversity for that specific type of model (though I'd love to be corrected). DW has some, but limited options.

These trailer models are intended to "bridge" across the flats, so three trailers per 2 flats.

There's even a DW version with just a chassis load

Anyway, I'd like to see more options like this that are modeled with the intermodal chassis. Or at least a model with this kind of chassis that would be reskin friendly to the various intermodal liveries.

These are Channel Side flats. some that were formerly used in early AutoRack Service

I was thinking more about the trailers, with these specific chassis, than I was about the flats. If you're in a creative mood as you're working on your flats

Kind of wish the trailers from TSN were not part of the flatcar shape. Would love to mix and match some more of these onto your flats as F/A's.
These look great, and my give a try at some repaints.
Apparently the MEC handled some TOFC traffic over the Mountain Division route during the early 70's. Neat to see, but news to me as well.

Thanks for the compliments. I have wanted to make a "flexible" load option for a while now. Finally got around to trying it.

It may not be perfect for the "container" load/unload options added to the SIM, but it might be a starting point.

This is a really nice set Pete and I love the flexibility you designed into it. I may have to dress up some of my 40 foot trailers from the 1970's and offer them as FA's. Thanks for creating these!
