My thanks to espeefan for resizing the photos and posting them here .

[Espeefan]

Glad to help you, Mike. I didn't have to re-size the photos. I just copied and pasted the IMG codes that can be found underneath your uploaded photos. We used to have a tutorial on how to post images. Not sure if it's still available for reading.

Just got back from a couple weeks holiday , thanks for the compliments guys. And papabaer to answer your question i used two trailers to make one and extended it by 7 inches. I think the next one i build i will also extend the topdeck by a couple inches .

Thank´s for information. I would extended my lowloader at the topdeck for 3 and on the lower Deck for 8,7 inches - to get a complete lenght about 37 inches. I think it is so nearly realistic.

Very nice so what did this trailer start out as?

[bigpipespete]

CAT29 This trailer started out as a yellow Bruder lowloader. I used 2 trailers to make one then stretched it out , added the hubcaps , tied it together with the aluminum sides and from the underside. Added the wood deck , and the aluminum strips on the deck, painted it black to match the daycab kinghauler and then polished all the aluminum. I took one of the deck braces from the spare trailer and cut it down to make a light bar underneath and infront of the wheels , i havent yet added the lights, and i used the Tamiya rear lightbar for the back . It fit perfect and adds the right touch. I should be getting my excavator back this Thursday .
