Of course the canvas top should fit. The beds are standard beds of practically the same size. The trailer looks nice and is in the legal Army limit for a M1008. Go on with your effords! At 70 mph the M1008 starts to dink a lot of Diesel, 60 mph is for my oppinion the better choise. Wolf

For further identification: Where are the pics? May be the question is fully answered already...? For me not necessarily. Wolf

Thanks for the reply. Your recommanded limit odf an unbraked trailer of 1500 lbs clearly show me that your Jeep conforms to FMVSS 135. There the maximum weight of an unbraked trailer is limited to 1500 lbs or roughtly 750 kg. This is identical with ECE R 13H. Both regulations have the same...

Hey, these M923 and so forth trucks are some 25+ years old and of course do not fullfill the requirements any more: Soft body, no crew protection, outdated engine, to hight fuel consumption, semi auto transission a peace of history, axle designe from the late 50's. And even for trucks the maker...

For your understanding it brakes nice, however not according to the requirements of FMVSS 135. The 9.00-16 8 Ply Rating tires are good for a tire load of some 3000 lbs at 400 kPa tire pressure. The small cracs in the side wall are not very dangerous. On my trailer the oldest tire is from 1968...

E-brakes, hm, your choise. The US design is not legal over here. And I would not use them. The unbraked trailer allowance for any modern civil Jeep is, as far as I remember, limited to 1000 lbs by the manufacturer due to the requirements of the FMVSS 135. The split rim of 6.5 x 16 is not a...

Yes, there was that threat. However, I would not do it the way that guy did it. The towing vehicle is not made for that. From this point of view the towing of a scrap car with the Deuce is on the safe side. Wolf

Looks like a nice place for shopping (and geting rid of a lot of money). Wolf

The only trailers I know with rotating lunette is the Bantam T2, the M100 and their derivates. The M416 also has a rotating lunette, the M416 A1 not. A braked axle is a good idea, however you need the surge brake head for that. And that has not rotating lunette, for the corresponding miiltary...

Looks like the Deuce needs some attention, too, some paint work... Wolf

Looks like a BIIIIG lot of work. However, nice to see someone tries to bring such a peace back to live. Try hard. Any luck you need for the project! Wolf

To come back to the oil question: A 15W40 mineral oil will be fine. Otherwise in Winter you should use a 10W oil, if temperatures are blow 0 centigrade, in summer a 30W oil will do it as well. Or as mentioned, for all seasons in Greece a 15W40 oil is fine. The cheepest you can by will do it...

And on the pic of the shelf, the loko on the third shelf from bottom, that is the original type that run on the "river Kwai railway" in Burma, a C56. Wolf

Maerklin : NEVER! All my stuff is DC! Im originated in Trix, all the other brands are Rivarossi, Brava, Bremo, Tillig, LGB, Bachmann, Aristo, Kato, Tomix, Tenshodo, Arnold, Egger Bahn, Liliput, Fleischmann, Mehano; allways and ever DC! LGB is DC and always was DC! And the Sanley Steamer off...

Vrayag, I do not run that train, it is just a for fun and Ilike it collection. Except IIm the trains do not run on my layout so far. May be in the future H0e will have a change. Wolf

Somehow the last post the attachment did not work. Here is my beer train. Wolf

And some more. It is not the very latest, however I hope it gave you an idea of my modall railroading. I just collect what I like regardless the scale. Wolf

And some more.

However, I have some more, which are not the latest ones, but gives you some impression. I work on that layout since some 15 years now, beside trying to keep my truck and other stuff alife. Wolf

N-scale is fine, especially for loooong trains on small places. I have N trains for different reasons. H0, like the lay out of Derrickl112 is also nice. However, as somebody commanded, it is to be taken to notice, that a correct scale lay out of a military compound as a tank farm can not be...
