Here you go this is in regards to the semi trailer to train cars I was
speaking of earlier in the Smoking tread.

Oh and I was wrong about the logo on the side of these, it is Triple Crown
on the RoadRailers I've seen. The OCR is another car that just stuck in my
mind for some reason.

Are the trailers given stronger frames than regular trailers?

Thanks for the links! The things you stumble across on USENET.

ObFood: 3-egg omelet with sautéed onions, jalapenos, and tomatoes.

My guess would be yes Ranger, but just a guess on my part.

Interesting... The technology is 50 years old and it's doesn't
seem to be more used. The costs must be pretty significant for the
trucking industry in the US not to use them...

BTW: As an HO-fanatic, I've not noticed them in kits or among my
friends set-ups! I'll have to ask my two sources for the unusual
about them. <G>

ObLunch: Monte Cristo sandwich; an evil pleasure.

I have always wanted to build and HO gauge setup but with 4 grown kids and a
bunch of grandkids I don't have the time for it any more nor the room since
I now live in a 2 bed/2 bath apartment. Had a neighbor when I first got
married that was a commercial pilot that had a whole bedroom filled with an
HO gauge setup that was really detailed though and used to go play with them
with him from time to time.

Are there any clubs or hobby shops near by? That's where my buds
build (and store) their stuff.
