OK.... This is an early rough(really rough ;DLOL) mock up pic of the "Magic Carpet" funhouse entrance load that Old Blue pulled.... It's based on the AMT lowboy moving van floor, & rolling stock... Roughly half is gonna be scratchbuilt out of 1/16 sheet plastic....  Here's a mock up pic of the lower section....  & here's a mock up pic showing the upper section of the trailer....  Stay tuned....

Well I got some more done to this today.... I got the lower chassis sides(1st pic) super glued in & the chassis painted black, & the end& back side pieces along with the roof painted silver... Unfortunately the on/off switch in my newer computer decided to go south on me, & I'm having to use my old slow one that doesn't have USB ports in the back, so I can't post pics for awhile...  But I should have a new one after the first of the month, so I'll post the progres pics then....Thanks for bearing with me.... ;D |

Well I "borrowed" a friend of mines PC, laoded the pics into his, emailed them to myself, loaded them into the "dinosuar" ,& then then loaded them into photobucket.... It's about 3/4 finnished, I still have to add airhoses, marker lights, more folded scenery panels, & odds & ends.... Here it is with Old Blue.....    Thanks for lookin!!!! ;D |

Heh it's coming along nicely. Is this a representation of a 48 or 53 footer? Looking good.

Thanks Dave!!!! This is a 48 footer.... Back in 1983 when this was built that was about the maximum I think....  It had to have special permits nation wide, & up in Canada for weight.... This was the heavy load of the ride,(It was two trailers)It had a lot of steel rails,aluminum I-beams, & drive motors.... ;D |
