Default Brass A-train Tandem Converter

So this is my next project. I'm building a tandem A-train converter. I'm going to build the suspension from scratch again. This time I'm going to do it Spring Style like the ones I use at work. It should look pretty cool when its done.

They are from RC4WD. I think I can say their name on here. I think they cost me $70 for the set. They are made from metal not plastic

Thank you. That means allot. I'm gonna do a new one once my skills get better. Some crooked spots I'm not happy with. But it will be good for instructing purposes. I'm just started a new project as we speak.

Here are a couple of pics I took of some of our converters we have at work. Just for anyone that lives in a part of the world that these Tandem converters don't exist.

Lol what Purple and Black isn't good enough lol. . Eventually once I figure out how I want to build them and have the room to put them I'm gonna build 2 53 ft trailers. I'm thinking one will be a tandem and one will be a tridem.
