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

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
