    The thread posted earlier regarding the ID of an N scale trailer got me to thinking. That's dangerous!

    Here are a couple of bashed units that I made. The blue truck and trailer is partially 3D printed, the tractor chassis and cab are printed. Let's see some more DIY type models.

    Hope you enjoy and as always have fun,
    Carl

    Great looking COE, although I don't think I've ever seen a fifth wheel that clean!

    Yes, that is a nice looking White COE, is that a Shapeways kit? Yes, we kept the 5th wheels greased, believe it or not, it helped with steering and backing the trucks in the days of the Armstrong steering :)

    The White 7400 is an old Concor cab. And since that pic was taken I have "greased" the 5th wheel.
