All Sea-Land trailers are foobs mean to represent containers on chasses - I would avoid these.
I'll take a stab at this, but take it with a grain of salt...All Sea-Land trailers are foobs mean to represent containers on chasses - I would avoid these.
This makes me very sad, but I appreciate the information ahead of an expensive purchase of foobs. Or, at a minimum, if I do make a purchase, at least I'll know going in and avoid buyer's remorse.Thanks,DFF
Daniel -Understanding that your shot was with a grain of salt.... I have been provided with some information from an off-line source that shows Sea-Land definitely had trailers much like the ones Train-worx is producing though they eventually did make the conversion to 100% COFC.The trailer with Sea-Land split by the large stylized SL logo is appropriate for late 1960's use. I cannot confirm the other logo's use on TOFC equipment.
If (and probably when) they start making more modern trailers, I'm going to be in real trouble! These older trailers are so nice I've tried to figure out ways to justify them on my layout but just can't go back much more than about 1990. The best I can really do is have one or two sitting somewhere as storage sheds or something.
