331 Tanker
 

So I've been working on building a 331 tanker used to haul liquified gasses like propane and many other things. This is a slow build not much home time as I pull one of these trailers at work. Well this is what I got done so far

Nice trailer, looking forward to seeing it done!

Re: 331 Tanker
 

Looks great . Can I ask where did the trailer fenders come from ? Mike

Re: 331 Tanker
 

Looks great, and gives me a few ideas for the tanker I'm planning to build. I'm planning on using 6" PVC, but might use 4" instead, not sure yet. I will be following this build for sure, thanks for sharing.

Re: 331 Tanker
 

Thanks... The fenders came from PMD. The front fenders are the tri axle with the front cut off.

Re: 331 Tanker
 

Very nice! I see you got a nice base to play with and build now. I'm looking at building a set of these. My Dad pulled them around for 20 years, different setups and whatnot and I just have a softspot for these. Any plans on the bullet ends?

Re: 331 Tanker
 

I'm still working on the bullet ends been messing around with balls cut into two pieces but I still have a little way before I get to them..

Re: 331 Tanker
 

Have you tried Plastrut in California I get pipe ends from them for 1/13.7 scale tank cars . Mike

Re: 331 Tanker
 

Funny I had always seen Plastruct products in my LHS but it was always for such small scales, I never checked out their catalog. They have nice dome and elliptical ends in very large sizes.

Re: 331 Tanker
 

Thanks for the info I will have to check them out..

Re: 331 Tanker
 

Thanks Mikem the ends are ordered. I love all the good info and ideas you get from all the members Thanks Guy.
