Started the chassis this week, cut back my work because of heat. This will be the mate to the KW 993 I built. pete389.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=showroom&thread=5108&page=1The chassis scales out to 41 feet 8 inches long with a 30 foot (360 inch) wheel base 19 inch double rail height. Still a ton of tie brackets and flanges to make up before I'll start the rear suspension brackets and front springs and mounts as soon as I finish converting the factory prints to 1/25 scale.

Mostly oil field work in Canada, South America and Middle East. They were originally designed to transport tactical ICBMs in the late 50's early 60's. Paul |
