I must look up that suspension, great realism. It adds nicely to your truck. Did you make a dolly yourself?

Actually, looking at your pics again, I don't see a dolly. Looks like you stretched out the rear of one of the flatbeds and added an axle and a fifth wheel. Would that be correct? If so, clever, nice work.

Yeah this one is a B- train style. Fifth wheel is attached permentaly to the lead trailer. Both trailers are getting new frame rails. Lower them 1/2 inch from original. I ordered the triden suspension off of the 56319 tridem. That's about 3 weeks away yet.

I do have a converter coming from garden trucking though. Thinking that should be here Monday along with my headache rack and inter axle driveshaft.

I should have some more pics up tomorrow.

Ok here is some new pics of my progress of The Truck and the B box. Changed the tires on the truck to more realistic truck tires, plus installed the rear end. Just waitng for parts so I can finish the truck off for now. The trailer I chopped 1/2 inch off the frame rails as well moved the Tandem right to the back.

Msmaddie, great work! For a first build it's really fantastic and it stands out there. The purple is great. I love the trailer combo and the fact that you will be using these as instructor aids to teach new drivers is pretty cool. Well done and keep us posted on the 53' vans.

Nice progress! Love the flaps in front of the landing gear on the one trailer....seen that on a few trucks that run down here in the states from up north and not only does it look cool but serves a purpose as well!

Keep the pics coming!

Nice looking trailers.

Every time I see those stock shocks they make me cringe. I really need to start making shocks again.

I agree it that goes for the complete suspension system. I'm taking a shot at doing my own air ride system. Just figuring out the bags now. I so need a lathe.

This just keeps getting better and better.
I'm just amazed on your "first" build, can't wait to see the next one.
Keep up the excellent work MsMaddie.

really nice work - I like how you did the front 'frameless' look - I'll have to go back and do some more research on your thread. And that B-Train turned out very nice.
