Just wanted to let everyone know that the 27ft Trailmobile trailers are now available from your local hobby shop. I picked mine up last night. They are retailing for 49.95 a kit. Each kit contains parts for 2 trailers and the converter dolly. On the up side of this kit the parts are virtually flash free ( at least the one I opened was this way) On the down side of the kit the decals are VERY generic. Now if someone can just come up with a good source for some decals for these trailers that would be awesome!

There are several sources for other decals. On September 3, 2002, Consolidated Freightways Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. Read the rest here: www.cfwy.com |

What Decals Do come in the Kit then?? I was hoping that the "CornFlake"(CF) decals was in there The decals are just your basic license plate, fuel tax, icc, and some trailer numbers. Like I said very generic! I was really disappointed when I got mine and found out that there was no CF decals in them. I will post a pic of the decal sheet later today as I do not have one of the kits here at the house with me. |

here is what the decal sheet looks like for the kit. The ICC tags are not visible as they are printed in white lettering on a white paper background... Go figure.  |

"..heard that C.F. was giving issues about using their logo.."
This is untrue. AMT was unable to obtain licensing for the logo due to the bankruptcy. Too many creditors to chase down to pay royalties to. When the model companies have to chase down people to obtain licensing for a trademark, the cost of the kit goes up - as does the time needed to negotiate the payments.

I just welcome the kit, whether the decals are vintage or not. I give a big thank you to everybody that's responsible for the it's return.
