I have a few sets of the Lionel trailers from their PS flatcars, and was wondering if any model tractors would look good with these trailers, and fit to the same scale?
Thanks,
Mario

Mario,
Are these newer flat cars that are closer to scale with pup trailers? If so the new ray tractor trailer sets are a good way to go if you can find just the tractors on some of the diecast and auction sites. they made a '61 MAck, and vintage Kenworth and Peterbilt tractors. Also Ertl mad some vintage tractors for individual sale years ago that can still be found at the same places. There was a "50s Chevy Cab over, a "60 chevy, an International and I believ a Peterbilt.
If these are older LTI vintage trailers they are closer to 1/64 scale and Lionel did make separate sale modern tractors. You might also be able to find some of the tractors from the 1/64 NASCAR haulers. for these trailers.

Mario:
Lionel has just the tractor trailers catalogued. Below is a Pennsylvania tractor trailer. The shipping scheduled says they are due this month, but I asked Matt from Lionel at the LCCA convention in Chattanooga if they were going to ship this month. He said it would probably be a couple more months before they ship.

They are the new Lionel scale flats / trailers, and I like the tractors... Lionelville, REA and NYC would be great! No way on the PRR! Ha!
