angelo7 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Are there semi trailers in 18 or 36 feet length in real life? I know of 30, 40 or 53 feet, but I can not find photos or reference to those other lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've 34'ers. No 18s, but 28s yes.Most modern set of doubles are 28 foot each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelo7 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) That was quick! Thanks Clayton. Just bought a trailer kit on ebay and it says it can be a 18 or 36 feet. Check it out. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lindberg-Box-Flat-Bed-Semi-Trailer-Kit-1-25-Scale-Bagged-Kit-NO-Box-Special-/321680565478?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ae5a7e4e6 I want to build a short trailer with single axle.

Petetrucker07 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 That's different. The 36 makes more sense than an 18. But the 18 might be kitted from long ago. Maybe 30s or 40s before the rrgs were big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 That's the old IMC trailer, the tanker is the same way and can be built in a long or short version. These were done a long time ago and don't really represent any specific model of trailer and were long before lengths really got standardized. It was intended for the Dodge L700 kit which is a medium duty truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelo7 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks Brian! I'll try to modify it to make a 27 feet trailer. Will have to do some cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
