(erielack) modeling questions - Erie trailers



I'd like to model Erie piggyback trailers as shown in Morning Sun's 
"Erie RR in color", page 101, and am looking for some help.  Are any HO 
scale models of these (or something close) available?  Or, has any 
modeling info been published?  They look like they'd be pretty easy to 
kitbash.

Are these Fruehauf trailers?  How long?  The latest issue of Model 
RR'er, p. 12, shows a Sylvan Scale Models 34' trailer that looks 
similar, but the vertical ribbing does not extend around the front as in 
the photo in "Erie RR in color".  What color were these painted?  In the 
photo, they appear to be gray with black roofs and undercarriages.

Several years back, Walthers made a 32' Erie trailer.  Were these close 
to correct for anything the Erie had?
