Started working on the rebuild of my Great Dane 40 foot van trailer.... This is going to be a company owned (TSF/WWL Inc) trailer that is assigned to a Bulk US MAIL contracted ... More on that later First up for the trailer... fixing the damages done during a fall last summer... I fixed the roof and walls again ... It's a 1/25 scale and I'm looking into "sizing down " a 1/24 scale set of landing gear to make it work... Thanks Tiny The trailer doors were replaced with a rollup door as most if not all Mail trailer have them ... Here is the mock up of the repair in progress... I'm using the rollup door from the Louisville box ... since it is a bit short I had to add a bit of evergreen to make the door fit properly The Door in place in the "frame" Still got some work to do.. including sanding down the old door details, repainting and decaling for a mail unit

I like what you have so far. Nice job on the headache rack, and the trailer idea is cool, too.

Thanks Jerry, Do I need anything other than this to make them work (other parts) I have a small surplus of AMT tires to use ...
