Chris. Thanks for the complement. Fruehauf is one of the best and easiest trailers and container chassis I’ve ever pulled. It’s my favorite in the real life and Modeling life

WELL Lee if thats the case an thats what you think you may have pulled one of the trailers or fridge vans trailers that i helped to build an really we built them way too good as i think we put ourselves out of a job as they were so i was told meant to only last a few yrs but when i was working there we had containtners an vans an trailers come back for repair as 15 yrs on a shippin container came in an i found my iniatals welded into the casting an i was amazed an we also build a semi trailer if i remember rightly for a james bond film where a motor bike an side car was after bond an it fired misseles out of the sidecar an missed bond but hit the crane fruehauf trailer as if you ever see it look too the top left hand corner an there are red an white sticker sayin CRANE FRUEHAUF an it got blown too bits OH DEAR

YEA RickChris, l hope you don't try welding your Tiger together......might get JR worked up but would be disasterous for Tiger!!!
Rick H.
it certainly would as tiger is nr all wood so a fire would ensure an that would be right up J/R street would it not an we would have to do an emergency call to matron an get a big jacket on with the tie ups an her big needles to calm him down lolchris
Andy thanks for the complement glad you like it.
Chris. I agree with Rick watch that Tiger lol

Here’s one of my favorite videos from my Dough Hill Layout.
More pics I took Friday it was a very stressful day cold and snowy slick roads drive so I needed some down time. My train layouts are my best therapy. This is a Weaver RS-3 with a Manifest of Vintage Atlas O Reefer cars
