Trailer Loads


Recommended Posts

Don't forget the MPC 1/25 scale General, Steam Locomotive. That'd make for two loads, the engine on a lowboy and the tender, off its trucks, on a 40' Freuhauf flatbed...

HMMMMMM, Chris, I wonder where that idea came from?!?!? :lol: I plan (if I ever get my truck community build back on track here) to build just that.

This will be my trailer though...

Just as a point of reference too, through my research on the General, it could be hauled as a single unit one just one truck. The weight of the engine and tender are just over 44,000 pounds, and even though I don't think it would fit in my box trailer, the light weight of my 1:1 is 33,000, so I would still have 3,000 pounds to spare before I hit 80,000 pounds.
