Two 40' van trailers similar to AMT's kit

"Old Dutch Cleanser" chases dirt - saw this one a couple years ago. With the exception of roll up door, it is very close to the kit.



Suspension, axle tubes, slider lock and hose support all match kit parts.


Scratchbuilding is one option for door and frame, another is AMT's "doubles" trailer kit - or the single one that came with Ford tractor in the "US Mail" set.

Just saw this one today, again very much like the kit except lower, 12' or maybe 12' 6" at the most.


Again a roll up door. AMT's "short hauler" or "city delivery" van kit is a possible donor as that box isn't as high as the "doubles" trailer kit.


Spoke wheels, axle spacing and "Pro-Par" axle caps all match the kit.

Closer view of "Pro-Par" cap, it is actually clear plastic so you can see hub oil level.


Hose support just like the kit again, being "just" a storage trailer now the slider lock has been removed.


Square axle tube - just like AMT's kit again. Brakes on this one not fitted with backing plates, not uncommon on trailer brakes at one time.


While brake chambers are a bit different from kit parts (kit ones have smooth surface compared to the ribbed face on these ones) the single air tank, valve and non-spring brake chambers all match the kit as does suspension coss member.


As does landing gear.

Plenty of possibilities for the reissued Round 2 version of this old kit!

Looks like you have a couple of new projects!
