Ok, so I didn't actually make a 1/32 flatbed for my T600; I used a Neway diecast trailer. I didn't do any modifications to it, but I supposed one could.  The trailer landing gear "flips up"; but if you wanted it to look more realistic I suppose you could modify the landing gear on the trailer, or scratch build your own with Evergreen & Plastruct. |

Thanks jimb, I thought about scratching my own using a dry box bed. I'll have to give this one some more thought. BTW where is Chittenango,Ny. My oldest boy is going to college in Albany.

No problem, Pete.
Chittenango is just East of Syracuse, which is about 2-1/2hrs West of Albany. Our moderator (Brian) lives in the Albany area. Where is your son going to school?

Rig looks good Jim, how does the New-Ray trailer match with regard to scale? I have one on hand, it seems a little larger (1/30 perhaps?) than the 1/32 Mack R I built recently.

Hey Jim, your neighbor don't teach does he? Where did you get that trailer from anyway? Might have to go and pick one up.

My neighbor teaches at either Utica College or LaMoyne in Syracuse. She recently finished her doctorial thesis on the burial practices of pre-historic Caribbean tribes. Got to write it on somethng, I guess.
As for the trailer, I bought it from a friend of mine in Canada. It's 3-3/8" wide x 15-1/8" long. If we assume that it's 1/32 scale that's 108" wide x 40ft 4in long. It has about a 9ft spread on the rear axles. I've heard that some of the other New-Ray trailers (like the livestock trailer for example) are not 1/32 even though they are sold as 1/32.

Oh, Didn't know the he, was a she, sorry. My son is going to focus on the lineage of the Tarascan people of West Mexico.
Can I get those at trailers at Wal-Mart?
