Re: Tamiya box (freight) trailer
I spoke with Joe Anderson @ Tamiya-America last week. He said that Tamiya maybe getting prepared to bring out a 53' American Dry Van, more to scale than the 40' Box Trailer that has been discontinued. It should be approx. 46' long and will most likely require similar building techniques as the Reefer Trailer.
No offense Kaan, but I really hope they do NOT use 3 axles on the new trailer units. We don't use them here in the U.S. very often and in my opinion they look awful; would just be a waste of money for unwanted product!

Re: Tamiya box (freight) trailer
Sorry to burst your bubble but the US is about the smallest market for Tamiya. That is why most of the newer offerings are European based.

you apparently don't get to the upper Midwest very much. Tank,grain,and dump trailers here are almost all 3 axles if not 4. a lot of tractors are also going to 3 axles as legal weight during harvest is 98,000. extra axles mean less abuse on the unit with all the extra weight |

Even in Washington state the new equipment is trending towards more axle underneath. Almost ALL of the new trailers have 3, or 4 axles underneath them. You can't hardly find a new tractor that DOESN'T have the standard twin drive & one or more added drop axles underneath it. |

Re: Tamiya box (freight) trailer
Visit Michigan. I always wanted to have the tire concession for that state. Five to seven axles per trailer is pretty much the norm there.
