the goon Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Alrighty then, Question for you all. I built this Autocar tractor recently, and have been thinking about adding a trailer to it. Are there any currently available trailer kits I can use. Sorry, I'm a bit of a big rig newbie. Please move this post to the correct forum if needed. Thanks, Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Any of the 1/25 AMT trailers should work. For that truck I would probably go with either the flatbed or lowboy, something that works hard in rough conditions. Maybe it's the equipment hauler for a construction company and gets neglected because it only gets driven a few times a year when they're moving equipment from one site to the next or hauls materials to job sites that are off the road a bit.

espo Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Very realistic finishes on this build. As Brian suggested you might look for a trailer to represent something used in off road conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranma Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 real autocar logging truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 The logging truck would fit perfectly with the finish on the truck. The logs can be found in any yard with a tree in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornpatch Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 First off that a good looking rig. The way you have it finished I have to with the other guys and suggest something to go in the construction area. Such as a dump truck, you could weather it up to match the tractor.

yh70 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 very nice build and the weathering is great.. the log trailer would go great with it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chariots of Fire Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 How about a construction (lowbed) trailer? Would take some scratch building but it would look good with the tractor you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goon Posted August 26, 2021 Author Share Posted August 26, 2021 Thanks guys, all great suggestions. Think I'm leaning towards the logging trailer. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldcarfan27 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I like the logging trailer idea. I think a business name on the doors should read "Evergreen Movers, you chop 'em - we mop 'em" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Log trailer could be nice. Or you could use a dump trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpate Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I vote for the logging trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
