Project Information
Built this ," little, " Quad Road-Train for a NSW, Australia client last year. It, " only," measures 2.7 metres, ( 9ft ) from end to end x 127mm, ( 5" ) wide. A real one, is, " only ", 53.5 metres, ( 175ft. ) in length, and are quite common here in Australia away from the major population areas as they are heap cheaper to operate than a Railroad !!
Construction info;- Truck/Prime-Mover/ Tractor, ( depending on where one lives );- Aussie Kenworth T908 sleeper, with classic Aussie roobar, long rang tanks, etc. My own designwork, ( can supply Plans if anyone is interested ), Built from pine, & 9mm. ( 3/8" ) high grade marine ply, with Jarrah, or Red Gum for trim items such as toolboxes, & tops of air intakes. Gloss varnish finish.
Side-tip trailers,- Made from 9mm,( 3/8" marine ply, with Jarrah trim on the top of each tipper body.
Road-train dollies,- Tri-axle, ( six duel wheels ),
Wheel diameter,- 50mm. ( 2" ) lathe-turned. Gloss varnish finish.
Enjoy.
