Sorry about being gone so long guy's.

Had a bout with Cancer and have been in remission for about 9 months. I lost the internet due to unexpected expenses, and that all worked out. Last summer I was trying to continue the build. I ran into to many problems with the drive train that I made. Alignment issues were the biggest problem.

So I decided to rebuild using wood in 1/14th scale.
Re-scaled the drawings and commenced to building. Some minor changes were needed, but since I had all the parts for the 1/14th scale build. I started the woodworking. I used the Carve wright to make many of the cab panels (this machine is not recommended) I built the tractor and trailer with Walnut, Maple, Holly, redwood and Osage orange.

This was the following result. Sorry I forgot to take the progress pictures you all like to see.

The tractor used a RC4 wd 2 speed trans. Provided a good scale speed in low gear. The trailer was also made of wood Aluminum for the suspension parts. Brass tubing wias used for shocks and Goose neck cylinders.

The Truck came out really nice and was auctioned off for a children's benefit.
Before you ask, the truck brought in 2200.00 for the kids.

Thanks for looking.
