Re: Hapag-Lloyd
Sweet container and trailer. I like the color combo too. Did you build the container yourself from box trailer parts or is it a kit or Bruder?

Re: "Steamers" Builds and collection
I think all your builds are awesome, but personally I'd like to see more pictures of the SD40-2. Like from underneath, the motors, gearing, etc. What type of batteries and ESC did you use?
