    G’day Glenn,
    Sir, you’ve done yourself an injustice showing all of these beautiful toys/models in one thread.
    They surely deserve there own thread with a half dozen photos of each so the detail & craftsmanship can be seen in them; top job sir.
    Cheers Peter

    Prime mover is an Aschi plan, as is the bull bar, dolly and lowboy trailer are my own design, made up as I went along.
    Scraper and grader are from wood store.net, gave me some basic dimensions and I changed from there to my own design.

    Hi Potts,
    I agree wholeheartedly with the comments above but have one criticism which I have held off because I didn't want to be a wet blanket, and should also mention that I couldn't build models of your quality. I hope you take this in the friendly manner it is intended.
    You may need to redesign your dolly because the turn-table is too far rearward, limiting the amount of traction afforded the prime mover. It's a load sharing dolly and as such the turn-table should be slightly forward of the centre line between the bogie of the dolly and that of the prime mover.
    I drove a transporter in the early 1970's, it wasn't a big rig like yours but a lowly Mercedes- Benz 2624, six wheel drive and flat out at 38 mph.
    Cheers,
    Geoff.

    Thanks Geoff, I looked at it and thought about shortening it and thought better of it, I will certainly keep it in mind for my next build.
    cheers
