Popular Post Pawel Posted December 5, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2013 Hello everybody!After a long break caused by business trips, I'm back with a small update. I've been working on the pogo stick and the trailer connection. I've scratchbuilt the pogo stick out of copper wire and sprue (the base and the ball), and then put some Alclad on it. The lines are made of telephone wire. I still have to terminate the lines in some way. I was thinking about a "dummy socket" to connect the lines while not in use, but made so as to reserve me the possibility of connecting a trailer on some fine day. Maybe somebody has a nice photo of such a holder/dummy socket?Thanks for reading and have a nice dayPaweł 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19052-mack-rw-superliner-scale-model/page/7/#findComment-219963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mack mhe9 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Great work. Just my input on this year of truck I wold think the electric trailer cord wold be black. Green cord would b a ABS cord .

rsb502 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Green works, most are black but Phillips pigtails are green, or they were the last time I bought one.

rsb502 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Pawel those are the early button tuck vinyl panels, others know the interior trim levels I'm not sure which they were part of. The seats went right in, I have gone to a mid back bostrom low ride height cloth seat in the 85, it is the same T series just different trim. It gives you more leg room by allowing the seat to slide back farther.
