My big expensive disappointment

[Izzy]

Travis - makes a bit more sense - I do like the tri axel tandems better than the stock set up. I may have missed this - but are those the stock fenders?

Nice build, trailer is looking good.

Would be cool to see the lights, am interested to see how low they are looking from the rear. Any pictures of the container yet ?

It's a shame they skimped out on some things that are clearly important, surely they know that this is not a cheap hobby. The people in this hobby are clearly happy to pay the extra as long as the product is worthwhile.

Big Run - Scale trucking isn't for the masses, no need to badly mass produce...

Big run there are some other container builds on the forum that show the rear of the trailer I have just not taken a pic of it yet. As for the container I have not started it yet as I am not sure what I want to do a single container or two.

Hello Scott ,
Can you confirm these dimensions from "Zimms Custom"

I have a couple of Bruders that I am making a trailer especially for them. I will post some pics in the next few days. Do you want some measurements of the boxes? Well, here they are:

Length: 13 7/8"
Width: 7"
Height: 6 7/8"

Since that would mean these Bruder containers would fit right on a stock Tamiya Flat-bed trailer which is about 27 ¾” long and about 7” wide ,
