Tandem Metal Car Trailer

This little trailer was just what I needed to complete a diorama that included an old pickup and an old race car. It worked well for my purposes and assembly was a breeze. It's really sturdy because a lot of the trailer is made of metal; however, that also adds weight when attaching it to a plastic model. Like a real trailer, one has to account for trailer tongue weight or else the towing vehicle will be in a permanent wheelie! The metal construction also makes it somewhat more difficult to add effects like aging, dents and wear from usage. Different techniques have to be applied to achieve the same effects possible on plastic models. Overall, it is a good buy and the price is right. While I'm sure there were sound reasons for using metal instead of plastic, but for the sake of weight, I think I would have preferred plastic.
