A-Line Models has shipped their 28' Pines wedge FRP trailer with the new Yellow Freight "billboard" style decals. This is the trailer with the Yellow Freight internet address on it and the huge logo on the sides. The decals are available separately. A-Line has also shipped their excellent Utility 53' refrigerated trailer kit. Available with or without the nose mounted refrigeration unit and fuel tank, and available undecorated or with Stevens Transport, Market Transport, or Werner Transportation decals.

Athearn, Inc. has announced  their 23' container chassis is almost ready to produce. This is a very much-needed model and is patterned after the Hyundai produced extendable wheelbase chassis for 20' containers. The model has two landing gear options (raised and lowered) and two wheel-base options (normal and extended). Athearn promises ease-of-assembly design, new wheels and new rubber tires, laser quality printing on both sides with mud flaps. Watch for them at your dealer; we will try to keep you posted on their release. Available in the following schemes (with stock numbers):
