The JGES MEIN KdF WAGENS that were equipped with an anhängerkupplung (or tow bar) had a couple of JGES accessory items that could be towed. The box came with six trailers with two different size tops, low or high and a spare tire. The six trailer colors, Yellow-Cream, Black, Leather-brown, Dark-Brown, Coffee-Brown, Field Grey, were the same as the KdF Wagens. The rear of the trailer had a white license plate number of KdF. These trailers were commonly used for the Postal services,  the Red Cross, etc.

The trailer box had a message to the toy shop owners who received these boxes for review only. They were asked to send the boxes back to JGES after 10-14 days, so that these boxes could be send to other potential clients also. JGES also indicated that these show boxes represented a substantial value for JGES.

A larger size trailer set was produced with 12 trailers that represented the 6 different organizations within Germany of that time period. These organizations are listed on the box cover.

SS = Waffen SS

WH = Regular Army

WL = Luftwaffe (Airforce)

WM = Marine (Navy)

POL = Police

DR = Deutsche Reichbahn (German Railroads)

There were 6 each of the high and low trailer tops for the 12 trailers. All of the trailers and tops were black in this set. The rear of the trailer had a license plate numbers such as SS-1, WH-1, WL-1, WM-1, POL-1 or DR-1. There was a dab of red paint for the taillights.
