Again, great looking site.
Happy Trucking,

Thank you, I could possibly be into that depending on the work schedule at that time

I had seen one similar to this years ago too when i was hauling material, kinda what i based this off of.

Thank you. Yes, i do have another section that ill work with next year. I kind of left it unfinished so i can haul the screened material over there once i get a dump truck running and some conveyors possibly.

Joe, thanks. The body is pretty heavy at 8 lbs, theres quite a bit of steel there and not including the counter weight which i had filled with lead and added another 10 lbs( Then theres the undercarriage metal parts i added too to dress up the sides of the tracks. Those pieces of steel where chunky as well. Weight was measured on an old analog scale, so give or take a few there..
