    I guess it is now my age but about all I can do is think about and remember things done some time ago. Bare with me as I tell a quick story :

    In December 2018 I found this image and thought it was cool:

    I thought, man that is sweet, I need to make one.

    So I acquired two trailers from Mark Watson in February 2019:

    Here is one under a test tractor:

    So, two months later in April 2019, I completed these:

    These were done before I found Royale Models. They are all 3D printed, tractors from Shapeways, trailers from Mark Watson. The white one is my favorite as I put a lot of time into it.

    Thanks for letting me remember and show off a bit as I think they are darn good for N Scale.

    BTW, they have been on/off of the club layout but are now permanently off and at home!

    Nah, you’re gonna have to get nekkid by yo’ own self!! That ain’t right, asking everyone right out in the open like that!

    (The expression is “bear with me.”)

    Sorry, but this was too good to pass up!

    Carl, I remember you building those trucks and I still think they are fantastic. That white one with the purple trim really pops! Like all of us, they keep getting better with time. (y)(y)(y)

    C&O, that was just wrong and I'm still laughing. :LOL::ROFLMAO::p:D
