Excellent MOC! I really like the fact that you replicated the prime mover to look like a typical American long nosed conventional tractor. Looks like a MACK, or the early Ford LTL9000 tractor. That's a sweet long nosed! :thumbup:

Just my $0.02 for improvements :wink: :

- Longer low loader, lowboy if I'm not mistaken of its nickname in the States.

- When making it longer, search for actual lowboy pics, and determine what kind of load it'll be carrying, how much weight is the load? this will determine how much longer you should build it and how many wheels to install. Some lowboys have an extendable features and smaller wheels usually up to 10 arrangements, complete with rear steering such as Goldhofer and Noteboom, go look on their sites for reference.

- Move the fifth wheel hitch closer to the cab. This will position the ballast box in a more purposeful and logical way..to press down and aid traction for that 3 driven axles on the tractor.

I'm building a low loader myself, Goldhofer extendable quad axle type..but it'll take a while for some parts to arrive from BL :cry_sad:

Again, great MOC! Keep it up :classic:

Again, a very good set done by you. Maybe a bit longer? Also, how do put it in the white background?

LDD on city boy!

Thanks. I don't know about the white background.

Nice Job! cityboy. The truck is a little like the other one though, you really do build on LDD often. :classic:

Thanks. I find it easier to build in ldd most of the time :classic:
