Yesterday I got a package delivery from Charles Ro. I had to think a while at work to figure out what it was. When I got home, it was the pre-ordered Lionel 40 ft. Scale trailer twin packs. "the Lionel "40 ft- really 37.5ft" trailer."
So here's the skinny so far:
Pros: Great paint job and
some great add on details.
Cons :
NOT Scale Length! [here was an opportunity missed to be scale and "differentiate" their product with other mfg's!]
Light Weight- lighter than the 027 [s gauge] trailers!
No instructions on how to swap the closed end with the open end.
I will have to get back to everyone to see how these trailers sit on various flat cars and TOFC equipement. I hope you at least enjoy and comment on the above pics for now.

Brand new tooling and it is 2.5' short of scale?
