Half way there B-Double my first trailer build
Well 5 weeks ago I inherited a 56318 Scania R470 4x2 metallic edition in a trade for a Quadcopter
So I decided to go the whole hog and build a B-Double for it so from this lot To this lot First up R470 prime mover soon to be 6x4 flat top and full trailer shown here hooked up to the the "B" trailer And now the almost finished "A" trailer More to come as I get time I currently have a brand new Scania R620 kit with MFC and a new 2.4 ghz radio sitting on the bench to be assembled this weekend (Mr's is out of town so lots of peace ) And I just got a 2 axle dolly and assembled a flatdeck trailer to make it a sort of 4 axle full trailer And I have ordered some gear to convert the R470 into a lwb 6x4 flat deck truck to pull the full trailer I have been into R/C and Tamiya models since I was 5or 6 (now 46) But this is my first ever semi trailer build so still plenty to learn I am also an ex Driver having driven for BP and Mainfreight whilst living in NZ operating Tankers, Sideloaders (container swinglift ) along with curtainside B-Doubles and truck and trailer 8x4 with 4 axle trailer for over 20 years Now off the road due to disability from falling from truck I stuffed my right shoulder and elbow 2 surgeries and many more to come Last edited by STI-REX; 07-14-2014 at 05:40 AM. |
