I decided to design a modern 53' reefer trailer recently, as I figured if I didn't, I would grow to a ripe old age before anyone else did. I tried to optimize print orientation by making some separate components, and also minimize cost by eliminating some volume while avoiding warping of the sides by adding some internal structure. I ordered a print yesterday, so I am anxious to see how it turns out. This model will be pricey, but that is out of my control. At least this will give N scale a modern reefer that we desperately need. I plan to add a BLMA unit on the front of these. HuskerN www.nscaleaddiction.blogspot.com
Thanks for getting this out - I have been surprised at the lack of 53' trailers for intermodal consists - we have been waiting for someone to get some out to go with our Gunderson AP53 wellcar kit http://www.nscalekits.co.uk/gundersonAP53.html ! I hope that this works out well. Peter Peter Harris N Scale Kits www.nscalekits.com
