Trailers

To go along with the last post, I would recommend using a double or more axle trailers. The trailer I have been the happiest with is my 6 x 12 foot double axle. It is long enough that I can get 2 riding cars end to end on each track, and wide enough that I have three tracks. Right now this is more then enough room. I plan on making a second set of tracks above the first for more riding cars. With the cars I have right now I figure the total weight is about 1500 to 2000 lb.. Since the trailer is a double axle it is capacity is well above that. I choose the double axle based on how they tow and handle behind the truck. I do not recommend ever pulling a large trailer behind a car. My double axle with all my live steam stuff in it tows like it was never there behind my truck. I towed it across the country and back and not any problems at all. The double axle trailers tend not to hop around as much as a single axle trailer. I have a 5 x 8 ft single axle that I was using to carry the engine and 2 riding cars but it would throw them all around when it hit the bumps. I also have a 8 x 16 ft enclosed trailer that you can but a lot of stuff into but the biggest problem is that you cannot see around it. So when transporting your live steam equipment, I say a 6 x ? ft double axle trailer.
