The T800 took quite some time to put together but I'm very satisfied with
how it all turned out in the end! The model is great and works with a
variety of different trailers like most lowboys...
...and dump trailers...
...but here's the reason I built the model...to pull my Trail King scraper trailer
Here's a shot of the T800 pulling a loaded scraper trailer
Another shot pulling a smaller sized scraper
Here's a pic hauling a larger sized scraper
Pulling the 631E with eaze
Although Alan's kits expensive and have to be special ordered and then have
to be built and assembled they are most definetly one of a kind quality
and offer much gratitude once finally finished
Here's a photo of the T800 with scraper trailer attached hauling a CAT 631E
