I will have to rely on you guys for more information on the trailer. It was rescued from a certain trip to the scrapper. Far from perfect, it should serve me well, especially at this level of investment. If it doesn't work out it can be re-purposed. I have the lights but the wiring harness...
For the past couple of months I've been working on converting 2 - MEP 112's to 003's (400 to 60 Hz). I ran across an old M107 A1 Water Buffalo trailer without a tank. I offered $50 and became the proud owner! After fresh paint and some TLC, it is a nice piece.
