Re: My Winter Project part 1
 

hi, thanks for sharing! nice truck and trailer! what motor are you using to lift and lower it? also i noticed the bruder excavator, got any videos of it running? or pics of build?

Re: My Winter Project part 1
 

I love the truck and trailer. The build is fantastic. Thank you for the information about the bodies available :D :) :eek: :) :D

In a previous post you stated:
The true 1/14 53' conversion is 45 7/16 inches long. The 43 1/2 would be a scale 50' 9", which is 2' 3" short of the 53' length :)

No one would notice the difference without a calculator and a measuing tape. It looks great and the colors are excellent. You, sir, are a craftsman :cool:

Be happy, have fun, & drive safely :D :D :D
