I came across some Athearn 20' chassis kits.I made some 20'ers then wanted to make some 3 axle trailers I had seen.The trailers that I saw could haul 1 40' 2 20' or a single 20' in the center.

Tom,

More great work! These will look awesome in a intermodal yard.

Very nice I’ve put these types for over 20 years here’s a few pics of our triaxles that I’ve pulled

 

[CambriaArea51]

They have a newer style I've seen but haven't got a pic of to make a couple.The mounts that the container mounts on is U shaped,must help reduce weight with less frame material.

Kit bashed a lift gate for this truck.Hard to see being black but there are 2 different size "C" channel.

Here’s a few we stored and used a couple years ago. There’s also a triaxle 40’ in the pics

TrucTrain55 thanks for the pics gives me a few ideas.

Just a couple of trailers I did a few years ago.A 20' Athearn kit with the chassis in the extended position,and a belly mount reefer unit for refridged containers.

Always like those belly mounted reefers here’s a old yatming reefer I Custom painted and decaled

Here’s another pic of it View attachment 35926

I would like to detail that truck up.Some 1/4 or 1/2 fenders and a catwalk behind the cab.

I agree!

Just trying to figure out if its an old Brockway,Mack or Autocar.

Tom, that's a Autocar. It does need some missing detail parts. Your container chassis' are nice.

Truc Train • Nice Pete tractor.

Thanks,I thought it was one of the three but couldn't zoom in without the pic getting blurry.

 

[TrucTrain55]

Yeah guys I know it’s a late reply but its a old Autocar “Soft Nose” I need to pull it in the shop and get some mirrors and maybe some rear mud flaps on it
