One thought on “Materials list for HO scale 35-foot Fruehauf trailer resin kit

  1. the trailer looks good hooked to the tractor, but what about cranking up the landing gear? remember the blue gladhand is the service air line and the red gladhand is the emergency air line. the pig tail or electrical cable gets attached between them on the trailer.
