Well I sat down and thought whats at all construction sits and is missing here ? How about a place to read the news paper ? lol Im also thinking on a construction site office trailer ?

Great idea Rick. As always nice detail, even on a dumper. No weathering effect on this is a good thing
The construction trailer will look perfect with the dumper next to it.

Thanks guys....i love doing fun and different stuff like this....I have an old semi trailer (a toy i think ?) that I got at the St.Louis show....im thinking on cutting it down to size and using it for the const. trailer i just need to find some smaller wheels and tires...those trailers had regular car tires on them i think ? but i will also make the wooden steps that led up to the office door of the rig...and windows and what ever else i can think of ?

[Supermario]

You read my mind, ya gotta have the wooden steps

Don't forget the red sign that says " first aid kit inside " " visitors report to office, etc.

Up in Canada these trailers are typically called Atco trailers. And yes , they come with more of a camper trailer sized tires. Usually come in up to a 3 axle setup, depending on length .
I like the idea Rick. Custom buildings instead of buying Bruder toy buildings sounds cool.

Keep the pics coming!

When the pump truck is built, you need one of these 2 phrases on the back. 1. "We are #1 in the #2 business." 2. "Caution political promises on board."

I just wonder if the owner of that company did any research on the name before he put that huge "Turd Bugler" on the sides of his trucks ? I know what that Fraze means around my neck of the woods ! lmao
