Dave Metzner Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 A little Black Friday treat from Moebius Models! Here are a few pictures of the Great Dane Trailer Tooling Mock-up... As you can see it looks alot like a 53 ft Reefer... There are a few details to be corrected and a few more to be added. Hope to have it on the way back to the factory by middle of next week... Thanks for looking. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot56 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 great to see pic of trailer. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Looks like a big two thumbs up, WAY UP, so far Dave. One suggestion that I know has been made before, but is there any way possible to have both the steel two hole Budd wheels and the 10 hole Alcoas like on the Lonestar included?? The Budd wheels would give that a normal fleet look while those of us like me who like to have fancy trucks would use the Alcoas and throw the Budds in the parts box for later use. Oh, if you need anyone to build a test shot......... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE C.. Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 dave that is one sweet looking trailer. does it come with the two hole buds? and will the doors and bulkhead be chrome like the real trailers have...mike c.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hmm, now I gotta get me a Lonestar so I have a reason to get the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Wow that is nice , I can not wait tell that baby is on the store shelfs, Hmm, now I gotta get me a Lonestar so I have a reason to get the trailer. or you could get the prostar that is coming as well Edited November 25, 2011 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I do like Mr. Brownlee's idea for optional wheels, but even if not- I'm up for at least a couple- the Lonestar and Prostar would look pretty nekkid without a trailer to pull.

JamesW Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 or you could get the prostar that is coming as well While I DO like the look of the ProStar better, I like all the chrome on the LoneStar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckyr Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Thanks for looking. Dave No, thank you for posting! Dave, so does it have a sliding tandem carriage, opening doors with detailed interior and detailed engine on the Thermo King SB unit? To those that are unaware, disc wheels are available from aftermarket suppliers. Edited November 25, 2011 by chuckyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Mr. Most, we're being so formal now!! :lol: :lol: I gotta say I'm up for it too no matter what wheels are in it, but it would be nice as an option for once so I don't have to raid those built up junk bins at shows (that sometimes have no truck parts) just for enough wheels for my fancy trucks to have nice wheels on their trailers. Oh, and I have an edit for your post to Chuck, it should read "a NICE trailer to pull"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second, third, fourth, and fifth that!! It's nice to have a model company that seems that it truly listens to their customers and what they want to see on the shelves.

Dave Metzner Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) Wheels are 10 hole Alcoas like LoneStar, for now. Doors do not open - Interior has no detail This isn't a test shot - this is the tooling Mock-up - this is for us to see how everything looks before tooling starts - We'll fix a few details that aren't quite right and add a few that are missing based on this mock-up before we start tooling. Test shots come in a few months after tooliong is done - test shots are early shots from the tooling we use them to make sure everything fits together properly.

Dave, please, can you tell me, will the sides and top each be one long piece with no hard to fill seams cutting right across the raised side detail? Yep It's going to be about a 26 inch long box! - trailer floor, roof and side walls are all designed as one piece parts....Trailer itself is about 25.44 inches long - plus refer unit on front wall...
