Re: 53ft van and reefer trailers
here are the final updates to my scale 53ft van trailer .just have to drill and tap the roof on the trailer but other than that it is pretty much finished ,now if you look at the trailer you will see a gap on the underside of the trailer and others have been saying it needs to be filled in when actually it doesn't.if you look at real trailers the only ones that have a full frame on them are 4 and 5 axle flatbed trailers or the container chassis but the regular van trailers have the rear suspension ..which slides and the landing gear only so here are the updated pics of this trailer complete with Wabash decals and a few roof patches because of my rookie forklift driver,who put the mast through the roof of this brand new trailer.i did not fire him because...well it was me..lol
also added the body rub rail for those drivers that can not back beside you without rubbing the trailers

Re: 53ft van and reefer trailers
i got some new ones made to the right scale in height and i will be picking them up soon they are around 8" high and the actual height of the real trailer box is 9' 6" and measured from the ground up they are allowed a maximum height of 13' 6'' high and i calculated it and that would make the scale height of these trailers 8.1 inches high and the new ones coming are right around that mark

Re: 53ft van and reefer trailers
How did i miss this??
Love the one piece folded sheet fpr the sides and front! Makes it look so clean! I finished my 53 footer for Optimus yesterday, came in at 1150mm long, not including reefer. The side panels i used were actually stainless steel, i couldnt find the ribbed pattern in aluminium. Its made by Rimex metals, should be available in the US. I worked the sizing out pretty much the same: 1:1 53' long 13'6" overall tall 110" inside height 102" wide In 1/14 1153mm (not including reefer) 293mm tall total 199.5mm tall interior (box) 185mm wide They're the measurements my trailer is built on. I did lower the trailer a bit as well to get the wheels closer to the frame for a more scale appearance. Basically re-drilled all the suspension mounting holes 10 or 15mm higher. |

Re: 53ft van and reefer trailers
Those are great looking vans, I like the scale look, especially of the yellow day cab with buds. Buds on the trailer would be pretty cool to mimic the everyday rig going down the road. Sweet setup!

Re: 53ft van and reefer trailers
Hi Dwayne,
many thanx, but please stay inside when it's stormy. I can start with the planning earliest next week, so there is time enough to wait for sunny periods...
