Engine reference 1:1 for semi engines

[Darren B]

I have found a few mostly videos on youtube, but planning on another build, the amt road boss and pairing it up with the peerless logger trailer (not including the sleeper on the boss) and want to do a super detail build on the tractor including all the engine and transmission lines, hoses, wires, etc,etc,.. Any ideas or does any one know of a good site that shows picks of the engine in the road boss, and the body as well? any help would be appreciated.

Darren, your best reference for loggers is these guys: http://www.thetimbershop.proboards.com/index.cgi Everything you wanted to know about loggers, but was affraid to ask; these guys know. William (muleskinner), Mark (loghauler70) Mike (tufftin), Ryan Ronning, & Dave (slurrydog) are a great guys with a ton of knowledge about logging.

Good luck, have fun, pust pics.

Oh, one thing I do know about log trucks is you need to extend the frame behind the rear tandems about 5ft (scale) from the center of he tandems or the log trailer won't work properly. Muleskinner told me that!

Jim, thank you for the info, never done a frame extension before, that seems scary to me. Thank you thou thats an awesome website on the loggers, love it!!

Not a problem. I'm hoping to do a logger once the AMT White-Western Star comes out.

As far as detailing the brakes & engine, this site might help a little: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/ Well, at least get you pointed in the right direction, anyway!

Not a problem. That's why sites like this exist.
