How about a scale vehicle thread

[TruckLover]

Sorry Combat, I can't find them anywere. I think that I heard about them here on the Gauge. Maybe if you make a new thread and ask your question of how to join them together someone will bring up the hitches to and be more of a help then me lol. These things were like little eye hooks that I saw but I can't find them on the web anywere

Pentel hooks? Some company makes them (if I can only remember who).

 

[COMBAT]

You guys are killing me.... LOL

 

[TruckLover]

I know Lonestar Models makes the pintle hooks but idk it those would work with the Athearn Dollies? They don't have a picture on there web site and they are under Truck and Trailer Detail Parts

Cosidering I've seen some loco bodies from Atlas made to fit Athearn drives.
I'm sure with a little planning, maybe some trial and error and with a little modllers license thrown in, they could work.

 

[COMBAT]

I think I can make my own... If I figure it out I will post it.

Pintle hitch

The type of hitch mentioned earlier is a pintle hitch. My brother had one on his pickup truck and my nieghbor has one on a dump truk. You can buy one through zycon models (they have a website), I think it is made by custom finishing.

Conbat: thats a neat looking log loader, who makes it?

 

[COMBAT]

Here you go:
Construction - MOTORART - 13041 - Volvo L180HL High-lift log loader - Prem
