A M T's automobile hauler really is a "Dated " piece to start with . About the only Cab it ever looked "Correct" with was the Ford C-600. The Revell piece is ............... OVER PRICED . I don't know too much about the Beal tank trailer ...............

I wouldn't mind Revell's six car hauler to come back out....I have only 1 left....I need some more of those....

While the original question was what trailer would you like to see REISSUED, I sure wouldn't mind seeing these on store shelves either! (HINT HINT MOEBIUS!!)

Actually, it's pretty easy to get something very similar to the East flatbed you're showing. Get two AMT fruehauf flatbeds and cut them up the correct lenght and cut the suspension from each and you get a 48 or 53 foot spread axle . It's so easy, Mickey Mouse could do it! You even have the choice of spread! I made one, so yeah, it is that easy. Got the instructions from the internet site that most people here know about... No not Tim's, the other one. But I'd go for that gooseneck anyday! Oh and for the topic here, I'd like to see the Michigan type dumper trailer that revell had some years back. Or any one of those 6 axle trailers they had out. The auto carrier was also sweet.

Yeah you are right Robert, but to modernize that idea you still need two nice air ride suspensions either in resin or maybe from a donor Moebius reefer, and I said maybe since I have never had the chance to buy the reefer yet so I don't know how correct the suspension is.

As for the topic subjects, I remember that trailer, it was a grain hauler, and a member of a club I was in had that hooked to the Pete 359, beautiful setup! I wouldn't mind the carrier, I have one and would like a few more.

The Beall Tanker! Even though I have two in my stash, I could use a few more. Okay, who else has one in their stash, but hasn't gotten around to building it? :D Mine with become fire service tractor drawn tankers. They are(were) used frequently in the Northeasern US.
