    I saw this on my usual ebay hunt:

    A Custom 89' Trailer. I've emailed the suggestion to them for mass production. They have Intermodals but the one thing that's missing imo is a modern 2 piggy back flat. This custom job is amazing. I hope some time in the future they release a version like this.

    This is another amzing kitbash from 2 ultimate series boxcars:

    I've seen Mail Express Boxcars in Missouri Pacific that looked like this. I've also sent this in to them as an idea for future products.

    So what other ideas do you have for USA Trains?

    I heard of people making custon 89ft piggy back cars and 89ft modern auto racks, but never saw any pictures til now. I'm amazed, but these in reality would be for those outdoor railroaders with 20ft curves. I sent in my idea to USA Trains already invovling a idea for a 1/24 scale ratio American series Steam locomotive to pull their woodside American series freight cars with and mainly made out of plastic so it's affordable, but something with traction tires so it can pull at leats 15 wood freight cars. I suggested a Mountain type stream locomotive in a 1:24 scale ratio, but a universal type one to fit all railroads and just provide pieces serperately for each railroad name

    I will. And as for that Boxcar, the seller says it runs on 8 foot minimum. I can believe that, I have actually ran 53' Evans on 4 foot minimum. I'm always looking for great kitbashing Ideas and these are amazing.
