Default My new wooden rack trailer

hello everyone ,just wanted to post a new addition to my fleet D&B BRIGHT TRUCKING .i have been conversing with a great guy for over a year now and we have talked back and fourth over time and he sent me some pics of a trailer he built from scratch .when i saw this trailer i immediately fell in love with the craftmanship and the attention to detail that was involved in making this beauty come to life.i said if he ever wanted to sell it i would most definetely be interested .well that day arrived and i was able to purchase this outstanding and unbelievable detailed trailer.i feel so honoured that this gent has seen my fleet and knows how i feel about my trucks and although we never met or saw each other until today that he allowed me to purchase this work of art and possibly the rest of his small fleet knowing they will be going to a good home ..you have to see this trailer and here it is



he built everything from scratch including the pins ,hinges and the wooden planks and the stake pockets that the racks go in.he extended the trailer and made the body thicker than the usual tamiya trailer flatbeds which to me look more to scale .the racks are removable and he made a long pin that locks all of them to the nose of the trailer when they are lined up .each individual rack is numbered and the rear bumper is custom made from aluminum by him..the racks lock together and the floor has the aluminum strips on it like the real thing .the detail in this trailer is phenominal and i cannot stop looking at it

Nice job Dwayne, but I agree about needing An old school tiny tractor to drag it around.
