Novel way to secure Pup Trailers to Lionel flatcars | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Tired of flying or kneeling pup vans on your flatcars? This gizmo keeps them in line, literally. They are available to fit either tandem or single axle vans. Please see pics. In last photo, you can see a flat washer interposed between flatcar bed and truck collar. This reduces the side to side sway as the car goes through curves. Washer placement much easier to do with diecast screwed in trucks. Search for “Lionel Piggyback Trailer Stand Kit for MPC/Modern Era”

Mark, are these available commercially, or did you make them?

I have nothing to do with them. Wish I was that creative. Commercially available, search title as above.
