Thanks Jeff the only hard part for me was how to make it work with holding it up. I had to make a locking king pin and lock the hydraulic cylinder. Thanks Kerry. Small update today added some controls and disconnect lines. -

Thanks Kerry After sleeping on this I figured out how I could get the goose neck to stay up when the trailer is detached seeing how the hydraulic system dose not work. I’m getting closer to being ready for some paint. -
Nice progress John.

Thanks Kerry I’m having fun building mine. More work on the goose neck I’ve started on the brace that keeps the goose neck up when the trailer is disconnected from it. I’m still going to have to figure out where to put the pup engine after it arrives. -

Gary that’s to funny but it’s something that I would do to. For the most part I’m done with the rear suspension it’s now connected to the load deck. My pup engine came in but I didn’t select 1/25 scale and I ended up with a 1/32 scale and it’s very small but I’ve got a 1/25 scale coming now lol. -

Thanks Scott yes you are absolutely correct about figuring out how the detachable section works plus there’s at least 2 different types. Thanks Gary Thanks Dave Thanks Jeff I need to do the mock ups as I’m building just to make sure that I’m not missing or forgetting something lol. -

Started on the rear suspension and did the first mock up with the Brockway. It’s also my first check to see how my measurements turned out. I’m at 8 scale inches clearance from the bottom of the load deck to the ground empty. From what I’ve researched that should work. Here’s my update pictures. -

BRBO 2022 - Peterbilt 351
Mopar - D replied to carsntrucks4you's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That’s petty cool how you are able too design your parts and then 3D print them. Are you going to reprint everything to add the missing cross members or just make the cross members and glue them in. By the way it looks awesome! -
