Speaking of which, I'm finally getting around to that. The trailer is
24x96 studs, so I'll be widening a spare 5571 to match (may lengthen it a
bit too, and will definitely add a Technic engine). You don't even want to
know how many 1x16 black bricks are going into this dang trailer ;-) Right
now, it's just the floor and about 6-7 bricks of side height, and a
perimeter of 3 level 1x16 beams on the underside for stiffening the floor -
even with all the beams underneath, and a 2 plate floor, it still flexs too
much, I've got to figure out how to keep the floor plates from moving. I'd
hate to have to cover the entire underside of the floor with beams/bricks,
but if that's what it takes...
Ideas for attaching it to the tractor reliably???
