Some Plasticville trailers I did for a game a year or two ago. Really useful kits, well worth getting hold of.

Doug, those trailers really look the part for redneckvlle - or even West Eros Trailer Park.  Iffin' (trailer park lingo) Akula can find some and is willing to pay for them.

They seem to be readily available per Google search: https://www.amazon.com/Bachmann-Trains-Trailer-Park-Trailers/dp/B0006KQHEW/ref=asc_df_B0006KQHEW?mcid=8a30b20968c33875b767013735b5ea20&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697358446476&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8896197552330158371&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1014208&hvtargid=pla-1949345200681&psc=1. So, I guess it is a matter of postage.  The one linked seems the best deal - three for the price of one from other links.

Those do look good. Also, don’t forget about the 3-D printed ones from Bad Goblin Games…

Hmm. Tried Amazon.uk and they're unavailable, but I did notice that Jadlam Racing has multiples of the set of three up on ebay for £21.15, free postage. I've bought from them before and they are pretty reliable so might be looking at these with some interest!

Mike - like those but they’d make for an expensive purchase ordering from the UK :(

Save money - buy some Plasticville ones and 'fortify' them yourself. Fortify being a relative term considering how flimsy a trailers walls are!  lol

Interestingly Hasslefree have them on their site: https://hfminis.co.uk/product/abrt001-plastic-trailer/
I have previously only bought Hasslefree at Salute (last purchase probably two years before everything stopped), so I have no idea on their current reliability.

I think they're back - the new website is running ok, Libby appears to be posting regularly and Dameon has mentioned his illness in the past tense so everything seems to be better.
I have always found Hasslefree to be 100% reliable, in that, when I place an order for in-stock items, I am certain it will arrive; they will fulfill my order. Illnesses are something you can't ever plan for, you just have to endure then cope with the backlog - Hasslefree have always reliably worked through backlogs such as that.

I get the love for Plasticville (thanks for the photos)..."might" be some on my list. Already have lots of diecasts, MDF and resin in the trailer queue though. Also have an order from Hasslefree already on its way. Just received a lovely mini from Ian Brumby at Fenris Games...one of the nicest blokes in UK Wargaming  8)

So, US Drop Bears are much bigger than the Australian ones, but equally hazardous!
Secondly - the poor guy must've been cut in half by the bear as he was 'rushed to two different hospitals!'

Yeah - bears in trees are rarely covered in any skirmish games that I'm aware of.  :)

So the TP solution of wearing a tall pointed hat (with mystical symbols and optionally the word "wizzard" in sequins) would not work.

No. Exotic headgear doesn't guard against dropbears, the marsupial world's ninja assasins. Exotic headwear may protect against a more immediate threat, Australian Magpies.

I love maggies, used to hand feed 'em. Smart as whips and they can distinguish between upwards of 100 human faces, so if they hate on you, it ain't coincidental.  lol

Man, you can't make any of this shit up. 

But it does sound like you now have a wide range of "random events" available for your games, AKULA... ;)
