Thanks all. I will try to get a few more pictures up soon, I'm still learning how. I did glue the fairing on. I don't have any build pictures, just some others with this trailer and a couple other trailers. Thanks Joe for helping with the picture. By the way, the trailer is 95% scratchbuilt. The sides are long sheets of styrene (wish I could remember where I got them), and Evergreen #242 1/2 round glued on to them. Axles are from an old ERTL moving van trailer, brakes from the IH 4300 kit and airbags from an Italeri Western Star. The 1/4 fenders are from the LoneStar, tires and wheels from the AMT Freightliner COE. Thanks again for the comments!

Where in Watseka? I go through there twice a week. May stop in and check them out.

Thanks guys. I have found that 22 ga railroad "hook-up" wire works well. It comes in 3 or 4 conductor rolls, 12 ft for $4.98 at one of the LHSs that I frequent. In the 3 conductor roll its red, white, & blue. Paint the white either black or green (depending on the light cord you need, ABS or non) and your good to go. I wrap my wire around a small needle file about the same diameter as coat hanger wire. Seems to work well so far. Soon as I gigure out the picture thing I'll post some up.

What are you guys using for air and electric lines between the tractor & trailer? I am using some small gauge wire, but can't get the "limp" look I want. I've seen some here that look like what I'm wanting. Thanks.

Navistar won't be offering the real LoneStar with the MaxxForce 15. After testing the real things it was proven that the cooling system needed couldn't be fit in the truck. I work for a dealer, that's how I found out. MaxxForce 13 only.

I agree George. If anybody wants to know, PM me.

Message sent Harry.

Harry, you know who this person is that I am having the problem with. You DID help me get a reply from him, but nothing more. I won't go public for a little while longer, if ever. Sure would be nice to get at least information about where we stand. I guess, if nothing else, I'm out about $75 worth of stuff that I could have traded elsewhere.

Well, I don't want to "go public" with the name, but if nothing happens soon, I just may do it. I'll say up front, he's from Ohio.....

who seems to not want to complete a trade we've had going since January? I got one excuse first, then another. Now, no replies to messages or emails to his email account either. I sent him my stuff in January and still don't have mine in return.

No problems at all with Dee. Trade went smooth as silk. THANKS DEE!

I'm trying to contact him in regards to a trade we haven't gotten finished as of yet.

Those two Binders look familiar.......

Already handled buddy. Thanks for doing it!

Check your PMs Rick.

I can do the 12th, but not the 19th. George, I got your message and I'm in.

Are we meeting somewhere this weekend or next? I know we talked about Forsythe when we were in Champaign.

Thanks guys! Guess what I happened upon today.....THE MISSING PART!!! I had cleaned some stuff off of my desk QUITE a while ago and had put it with the kit I was working on for some reason. Glad I decided togo through that box!!

Man, that Buick sure does look sweeeet in orange.

Where can I find a "frame" for rplaceable razor saw blades? I have access to a ton of blades, but no "handle" or "frame".

It never fails does it? Anybody else?

Anybody have an old Dremel 395 Type 3 that's broken? I'm looking for the output shaft assembly, Dremel P/N 529431170. Dremel no longer has them and I've somehow misolaced mine when waiting for the flex coupling to come in.

John, we have a little group here in central Illinois called Central Illinois Scale Auto Builders. We meet every couple of months. We are meeting Sunday December 18th at Slot & WIng Hobbies in Champaign, Illinois. We usually meet around Decatur, Champaign areas. You're in the Chicago area correct?
