Re: 8 car autocarrier
There is a set of files on Thingiverse for 3d printing and building a car hauler trailer. Looks like it would take a lot of filament and time to print out. Search for thing: 3677802.

Re: tiny hydro cylinders
I just ran across this site a few days ago and had not really looked it over till now. I see that they only ship to Europe so I'm afraid they won't be of much use after all. Sorry.
