Product Description
This is a Steer car, or suicide car, which is used in tandem with a semi tractor hauling long loads like bridge beams or wing sections of aircraft for Boeing Etc. The basic premise is a driver steers the 'car' which is under the rear of the long load, and helps keep the load traveling safely. I've included two bridge crossbeams along with the fifth wheel mounts so one can use one on the car, and one on the tractor trailer. The tractor trailer one will need to be raised in order for the load to ride level. Also, the front wheels will steer in tandem. First insert the wheels using small pins from the inside of the axle to the wheel so it will turn. I'd replace all pins with metal or styrene of course. The two wheel housings will pin in place, wtih the crossbar dropping over the other pins to connect the two. Should there be a question or concern, contact e via the designer link or direct via email to modelmechanic@gmail.com
