Thanks for the heads up on the gearboxes!

I wouldn’t be happy with a bruder trailer lol

Adam approached me about building the trailer using 3d printed parts and styrene, and it would be a huge job. By the time I was finished given the design, print, and assembly time then a figure of about £500 would just cover it, if I had that amount of spare time to do it, which I currently don't have anyway. As I say, a big, complex, and costly job. Looking at that trailer anyway it's not a particularly good model when compared against the real thing.

Tom has one but won’t sell it to me lol

Ken has one of the ones from the link, it’s really nice but I expected more for £500!

The "from" 500 euros bits scares me! And it's the early version without the over wheel ramps.

I remember now!

I could do one, the axles would be the tricky part.

Do you mean the long truck above? That came with those wheels as standard, it is a bruder with extended trailer.
My t26 sterling uses Lego tyres, I know Pete Wright used the same on this dragon wagon.
