Ok... Here’s a little something to look at over the weekend.... the tooling models of the new “B Double” combination that is coming in 2015...Release date, price, colours and company liveries are still to be confirmed. Models functions incude..working suspension, multipliable stage lift rams, opening tail gate and grain shut, position landing legs, “A” trailer has roll back bin feature. At this stage the combination details are also still to be finalised but it looks like it will be available in a “A-B trailer set” and the “B trailer” may also be available separately. Possibly only company liveries will be combined with a truck...   another look at what’s installed for mid - late 2015…. Remember this is just the 4 axle dog tooling sample and the final model released may vary…  .

But sure if a lad built his own road train good luck to him that is what model building/ collecting is all about I have spent money over the years building models and often the model I built eventually comes out as a model who cares
Its the enjoyment and buzz its not like we all new drake or whoever were going to be building these

Each to there own i guess , I like the drake models as there AUSTRALIAN designed trailers & Trucks. not a EURO try to be look alike. there a big difference. i've yet to see an australian built style trailer except in the plastic 1:24/25 custom model building. .
