Introduction
I present in this set a truck with a two-story semi-trailer on which it is possible to transport four vehicles.
The vehicle was designed in four studs style. However, in order to ensure greater stability I decided to add the side railings. In addition, the vehicle have special grooves for the wheels on the upper deck, so they won't move during the transportation.
The special lock is on the upper deck, which makes it unmovable after raising.
Second lock is present on the back constructed from the handle that closes the deck.
Underneath I have also added an additional support, so the deck will not collapse during unloading or loading of cars.
A semi-trailer is pulled by a six-wheeled truck with a bow.
The trailer can accommodate three sedans and one small cabriolet.
When designing this vehicle I had in mind primarily the preservation of the classic style that is the foundation of Clabrisic. The second important feature is the stability of the structure, so it does not fall apart at an unexpected moment. The third feature is functionality, which thanks to locks, handles and hinges give the ability to load and unload cars. I invite you to see the full gallery below showing the possibilities of these constructions.
I have created also a complete building instruction for this vehicle. If you want to see how I built it, I invite you to view the PDF available in the left panel.

Very good work! You found a clever solution to make the upper deck going down. It's full of interesting solutions. I like the tractor, it looks very powerfull, and adapted to transport cars. You also captured well the 90's style.
Of course, the trailer is the main attract and a big piece of work. You placed a lot of mechanisms and kept a reasonable width. And it looks very sturdy and playable. I made such a truck some years ago, bit it was rather fragile. But I made it in a mid-80's style, and I did not wanted to use the Technic parts you used as it made my trailer 6 studs wide. There is something that makes me smile, as yesterday, I made a scenery with something to complete this truck, a mid 80's styled car dealer... I will try rebuilding my truck and put it in a scenery when I will have some time. | |

Thanks Evans :)
I wanted the deck to be 4-studs in width, but it would be difficult as you say to build stable 4-stud trailer with upper deck. You need some support and a space for car to fit in. I have thought about this for some time and rebuild the trailer numerous times to make it functional and stable. You can actually grab it by the upper deck and pull up :) The locks keep it in one piece all the time. I am pretty proud from this construction. This is one of MOCs which I want to keep and it will appear in random sceneries from time to time. I have prepared instructions for all MOCs I want to keep, this is the sixth so far. I am looking forward to see your version of truck :) |
