Car Carrier with pneumatic ramps_MAN

[Trucker Al]

Here is my 8 car carrier that I purchased from PMD. I added a LEGO compressor
to operate the rear loading ramps. This trailer is loaded with 1/18 scale die cast model cars. This setup works surprisingly well.

love the trailer do you have to buy a full lego kit if so which one or can you buy the pump and rams seperately

[rc_farmer]

Not to steal his thread, but I believe those cylinders are Robart

Wow.. its the first car carrier i have seen on here...i saw it on ric's site and wondered what scale of cars would work for that trailer
Clever idea Trucker Al

[Stuff]
