Brass A-train Tandem Converter
 

So this is my next project. I'm building a tandem A-train converter. I'm going to build the suspension from scratch again. This time I'm going to do it Spring Style like the ones I use at work. It should look pretty cool when its done. :)

Very impressive scratch build. Turned out great, be proud!

Re: Brass A-train Tandem Converter
 

outstanding job ,where did you get the white bud wheels from?

Re: Brass A-train Tandem Converter
 

They are from RC4WD. I think I can say their name on here. I think they cost me $70 for the set. They are made from metal not plastic

Re: Brass A-train Tandem Converter
 

thank you i will check that out and again outstanding work!

Re: Brass A-train Tandem Converter
 

Thank you. That means allot. I'm gonna do a new one once my skills get better. Some crooked spots I'm not happy with. But it will be good for instructing purposes. I'm just started a new project as we speak. :)

Here are a couple of pics I took of some of our converters we have at work. Just for anyone that lives in a part of the world that these Tandem converters don't exist.

Re: Brass A-train Tandem Converter
 

nice job now you need to paint it yellow and build a couple of flat bed pups and put steve's wheels on them and box it all up and send to me :p:p ! i think the converter is cool:D

Re: Brass A-train Tandem Converter
 

Lol what Purple and Black isn't good enough lol. ;). Eventually once I figure out how I want to build them and have the room to put them I'm gonna build 2 53 ft trailers. I'm thinking one will be a tandem and one will be a tridem.
