Just wanted to maybe suggest some ideas for Sword Models, like maybe some bottom and side dump trailers or an American dry bulk tanker, a logging trailer and of course a standard T800...

Two words: Thru-Way Trailers!!!
Especially the P50W8L4 Coil Hauler an 8-axle Deep Coil Well trailer.

Of course, any of the huge multi-axle Michigan Gravel trailers would be perfect as well. I can't find a specific brand but this is what I mean: Martin Phippard collection @ Hankstruckpictures.com

But these would be great as well, especially in that nice blue livery: Theo Pouw Volvo VT830 & Theo Pouw - International LoneStar you'll have to scroll down for the latter one.

The Heavy Duty pick-up truck models have been brought up to discussion several times... yet any of the model manufactures seem to pay any attention... It would be nice to see some F-SERIES trucks or the Dodge RAM's...

I like your idea, but I dont think there is enough demand for a 1/50 lonestar. We have one in 1/64 and there are not enought people that wanted them so DCP stopped production from what I have heard.

I would really like to see a nice roll-off truck. You see a roll-off box at almost every job site.




Or a walking floor/tipper trailer.

T800 water tankers would be a nice addition to the fleet.

Yes, but as Jake said they might not be a market for something different...

Actually any truck/trailer Michigan style with those weight laws they make a very interesting truck.

But I also agree with those two.
