Well, I am not sure what this is, but it is not a TOFC IMHO. Until the
last step I thought it was kind of "roadrailer"-ish. But that big yellow
front part baffles me. Either that or LDLite is displaying it wrong...

LDLite isn't displaying it properly.  This happens with certain MPD files, but
I don't know why.  I'd suggest downloading it and using one of the programs
that splits .mpd files to view it correctly.

P.S.  This is the main reason I support Inlining small files.
Actually, this was meant to be 3 separate autonomus files. Just Copy & Paste
one, save it as the filename listed on line 2, then do the same to the second,
then the third. If LDLite can't receive colors #277 and #391, Then find a
compromise in LDLite. 277 is the same as blue-violet, 391 is a charcoal gray
that is lighter than 8 (like raw silicon).
I usually only inline with minifigs. When I made the wheels, it took me a while
to get the assembly so I made a shortcut. Like I said, I made the first trailer
from modifying the flatbed in #6393. I had to knock a brick-height off of it to
make it this size. (1 brick-height = 24 LDU.)
