I wanted fo my layout a B-double raod train truck. like that :

But i didn’t found it on the market, so a decided to built one. The base is a kit kit of skelton container trail from deluxe innovation sell by 2 and a standard 48 trailer.

I needed to modify the tadem drive trucks into a Tridem :

The leading trailer frame have been modified to install a scratch built plasticard coupler on the tridem :

The tractor is a ford from GHQ white metal line :

All the length and axle spread are scale reduiced of conform to US legal specications :

Hello All,

I have on my extension a diamont crossing witch was not so smooth to run. The problem was that the atlas Straith 60° crossing was not the best way to give the right curve :

So i have made a complete revamping of the track of this area:

The hart of the project was to built a diamond crossing in double-curve with the correct 52° that i need :

Very hard to do in N scale 4 days of hard job 8 hours per day …

Here is the test video of new tracks, it was lot of work but i think it look better now :

Wow, it’s been a long time for a new update! You have an excellent layout and are an incredible modeller! I look at some of your work and I have to keep reminding myself that it’s N scale. I hope you will keep sharing your progress more often with us!

32

Wow, excellent work Bubule!

Fantastic work Jean. I hope my new build will look as beautiful as what you have shown all of us on the Forum. You have given me a benchmark to progress too. Wow! Doug

Hi Jean,

Very impressive modelling. I’ve really enjoyed all your pics and videos especially the CZ, wonder why ?

Your attention to detail is amazing and the work you did inside the truck terminal is fantastic especially when you realize it is in “N” scale. Then your rock mold work is real eye candy…

Keep up the great work and make yourself a regular here , I look forward to your further postings.

Johnboy out… Long live the CZ… also glad to see you have some Western Pacific power on your layout.
