Also I am thinking it is about time somebody make a trailer kit for the Brompton boxes.
We made similar trailers and I remember that what you really need is the wheels, the short axels (at least if you want quick rellease axels) and a towbar. The rest is not so hard to make. I remember we used the top part of the stem of a kick scooter. Remowe the two short handlebars that can be pushed in from each side on the top and thread your axel trough. It is best if the axel can be in one piece or it can easely bend back when riding with it loaded and you end up with a light V shape and the trailer is heavy ro pull. I also remember I kept the small springs with the button that is holding the handlebars in place an reused them somewhere on the trailer.

I would be interested to see any photos of the trailer you made, "Good designers design, great ones steal other peoples ideas"
I am also aware of the Carry Freedom city trailer and would have bought one without hesitation except they stopped making them about 2012 it was a very good and interesting design,they say they will start making it again in 2017(maybe?).
also your right someone should make something to carry the Brompton travel case,.its' the only thing i would trust my Brompton to when flying and once there it turns into a problem trying to store if you're not staying in one location.Yes you can rent places to store them,but in England that can cost quite abit.
