Hello everone, my first post and question. Where can I find HO scale semi-truck trailers for a norscot semi-tractor? I purchased two semi-tractors on clearance at a local Hobby Lobby ad would like to buy two trailers for them.
First, welcome.
Trailers can be found from many sources and most will fit the trucks (kingpin may have to be modified).
Athearn makes several types of box trailers www.athearn.com
Search Walthers website (use the advance search in upper left) www.walthers.com and that will get you any number of manufacturers such as Walthers, PPW/A-Line, Bowser, Herpa, Atlas, Con-Cor and many more than I can list here. Just click HO, choose vehicles and type trailer into the keyword search.
You can also go to www.1-87vehicles.org and look at manufacturers under the links tab.

For modern trucks and trailers, 1970s to present, check Promotex. They have the Herpa line of vehicles as well as some of their own. Click on your scale on the Pronotex and Herpa tabs and select Trailers only. These are plactic kits and are available undecorated and painted

For older trucks and trailers, 1930s to 50s, look at Sheepscot Scale Products and Sylvan Scale. These are resin craft kits. Also Classic Metals Works which are diecast
