The American Freedom Train had 26 cars for most of its travels. Between K-line, MTH, and Lionel, 21 cars are available. The missing cars are the three flatcars (with trailers), the tool car, and the Power/Bunk Car. I plan to use one of my GGD PRR HW combination cars for the tool car, but had no source for the trailers or power car.
My search for the flatcars with trailers is coming to a close with the help of Alan (ALANRAIL). I was always planning on using the Atlas 89' flatcar, but there were no trailers available. I approached Alan about doing 3D printing of the 10 trailers and we have been working on the design (well, he has done 99% of the work - design and printing - but it was my idea).
He sent me rough samples to look at and I am really impressed with what Alan can design and produce. He did some with 1/16" walls, 1/8" walls, and 1/8" walls with internal braces to keep the wall from warping. The one with the 1/16" walls was flimsy, and you can see the walls bulging out. But it may be stiff enough with the roof glued. Alan plans to print the final ones in white, although these would be perfectly good painted.
