trick my mixer Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Here are some pictures of a Paystar 5000 International long logger with scratch built pup trailer. I built this about 12 years ago. This is the only kit I have found that comes with the log trailer and truck together. I decided I wanted it to be a long logger with a pup. Here in the Great Northwest these are called " Super Trains ". The truck itself is pretty stock. I did add my own built sun visor and also added cb aerials, I made the tool box that is behind the cab guard and put diamond plate with baremetal foil over it, the fuel tank straps are also baremetal foil. I used an alcoa wheel as the turntable for the pup trailer to turn. If you notice it also has working photo etched chain binders and scratch built wrappers. Those are the cables that you throw over the load to secure it.. I also added extension stakes to top of bunks for higher load option. As you can tell the windows are foggy from being outside. just minor detail like painting the bottom half of windshield washer fluid reservoir blue to make it look like a liquid line. Hope these come thru since first time for posting...

drinkone2 Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Nice work! I hope that IH logger gets reissued someday. Where did you get the chain binders?

Thank you..I got the chain binders from Kit Form Services or as they are called KFS..Sometimes you can find thru Oiltruckie on ebay. He will list them occasionally
RipVan Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Nice build & details. I do believe that Australian truckers would scoff at the use of the term "Super Train" lol.
SpreadAxle Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 This is a nice build. I wish this kit would be re-released as well.
TECHMAN Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 Super job on the build!!! The logs look MUCH better than the ones that come in the logging-trailer kits!!! DJ
tbill Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 That is simply gorgeous, love the cables and binders, well done!
