Default Bruder lowboy to gooseneck conversion

Picked up a Bruder Mack Granite with lowboy trailer combo recently to carry my Trumpeter KT 1/16 static model. Thought I'd share some pics of the trailer work for comment by anyone interested...

The trailer I am making is loosely based on the US military M747 trailer, a mighty handome looking trailer IMHO! I have amended the design to keep the Bruder three axle wheels and having just a flat deck with the central Bruder slot. On the gooseneck I have omitted the M747 guide rollers on top of the gooseneck. The work is still in production including front legs, tail section and side shackles etc... some pics attached.

Interestred to know if anyone else has done a Bruder gooseneck conversion?

Mike
