Good stuff Mike! I think that's kinda the fun part of this because we all push each other to achieve more whether we know it or not. The end result is the hobby just gets better. I have been thinking about a slinger truck for a while now but I just don't have time at the moment for any projects like that. It would be cool to shoot dirt at someone at a show though!:eek:

No train talk. That's where I spend the majority of my day. Not the real deal RR but NYC Transit. Kinda looking forward to December though, start training to operate their diesel work trains and I wont have to deal with the lovely nyc passengers.

Helping a friend with a HO scale layout as well. Have a few items collecting dust at the moment because of this site lol.

I don't think so Mike.

I haven't accomplished as much as I would like lately but I have been doing some work.lol I wasn't able to get any metric angle but I finally managed to find some SAE aluminum that is close in size to the stock Tamiya trailer rails and easy to get. It is about .010 thicker and only 19mm on the top vs 20mm but I think it's close enough. Anyway, this is my first go at making the rails for these two trailers. The one trailer is running aluminum airbag suspension and axles from China and the other is using stock Tamiya tandems and suspension from Exclusive RC on the other two axles. Both will be finished completely different.

that one in the front looks LONG!!!!!!!! whats it look like with a tub on it??

Re: Old style dump trailer
 

I'm going to watch this !

Re: Old style dump trailer
 

It's 3 1/2" longer than a flatdeck frame from the trunion to the legs. I haven't cut the tub yet but this chassis is meant to go under the tub cut to the length we were discussing a couple weeks back. (30")
