Something New

25 Points to Chris333!! He correctly guessed what the artwork work I posted weekend before last.

Here is a "Triple" Auto Carrier. It is in the frame stage as I still need to etch and install the stainless steel grating to the lower assembly before adding the hydraulic platforms. I will be having a special run of Athearn Mack "R" cab/chassis made for this and several other new truck projects including a corrugated stake bed. It took about 20 min to build and attach this frame since it is mainly folds.

Bob - have you ever thought of doing MOW decks/rigs for the Atlas tractor cab?

I mean this model looks superb, although I still worry if I am too fumble fingered, maybe it is time to try it.

Steve, it's N-Scale.

Richie, Yes. It will be a standard trailer that will connect to either an Atlas or Athearn tractor.

P.S.  Daniel, Your stretchers are on the same sheet as the carrier grating so hang tite for a couple of weeks.

Sweeet! Can you also whip up the unloading ramps needed for the autoracks?  I'm just to lazy to scratch build them at this point.

Awesome stuff again.
