Hey ho together,

After pimping my new 8258 to RC and improvements by Han, I decided that there is something missing.

A real flatbed trailer. I will post details in the afternoon, after minor design changes.

Here is the appetizer for you. :-)

Edit: Thanks to efferman, I changed the title of the pic. ;-)

behind "Flatbed Trailer" i have expected something different. Your type of trailer i would describe as a Gooseneck lowloader.

does it have a detachable gooseneck?

Ups, I thought it is called flatbed.

Yes the gooseneck is detachable.

Details of the detaching

looks cool i realy like it it looks on Han's low loader

(mayby a diverent load )

Some details.....

@Olaf, you are right, it is inspired by the Han lowloader.

Thats´s it, hope you like it.

regards Klaus

Looks cool! I cant wait to see the full release.

@BobBongo1895, those are some next-level photos you got there. They look realer than real life. Anyways, the trailer is awesome. It looks so "complete" and "finished." But those dually 56x26 Balloon tires in the rear of the trailer look a little "un-real," I would prefer dually 62.4x20 wheels in the rear. Still love it the trailer.

Hey Sama, you are right. I have to change the wheels.

I am really impressed with that build, the little touches like the chains and the ladder at the rear make for a more complete model, that is awesome. The little things do matter on a model dont they.

It looks really good, but i think a trailer/lowloader they long should at least have three axels.

also, make the deck 3 beams high and support it with 3x5 90 degree beams. this is essential for rigidity with heavy haulage.
