Arrow Transportation B-trains

[mackinac359]

Back in April I built two yellow and black Peterbilts, a 378 tri-drive and a 386 daycab - both wearing Arrow Transportion logos. After numerous suggestions to build the chip trailers, I thought I'd give it a go. I can't find where I posted the in-progress pics of the trailers, but today I put the decals on them (thanks to Doug W for making them for me). Once the decals dried I took advantage of the sky conditions and snapped a LOT of photos. So many that I made a page just for the Arrow trailers ARROW Transportation pics

The trailers are made out of sheet plastic. The plastic used to be menu specials from Wendy's Resturant. I had to reinforce the plastic with brass strips throughout. The suspension for the lead trailer is from an AMT Lowboy, the 2nd trailer suspension is from a Fruehauf.

Thanks for looking!

Tim,

These trailers are awsome! Very realistic, as always, nice details, jeesh, you pump out the custom scratch built kits faster than I can piece together a stock-box kit. Just amazing!

Wow! I've never seen any trailers like these in real life! I mean, I've seen doubles before, but never with long trailers.

Those trailers look very nice. You never cease to amaze me.

Aren't B-trains a Canada thing? Like Super-B's? I don't think I've ever seen something like that here in New York. I've seen 55ft doubles, but never a set-up like that.
