Thanks all, yup a logging trailer.... years and years ago when I started modeling inbuilt trucks and over the years waned away from them. Well the bug caught up to me again and I'm pulling them back out again!!!!
John, Peerless is the brand of trailer and is kind of a significant look to it....

 :)  Thanks.  I will be looking forward  to seeing it done.  Logging and timber are big business in Mississippi.  Sometimes I think there will be no trees left. 

My brother and I had lunch in Pelahatchie one day last week.  ( Population  1500 )  And I counted at least 11 loads passing through.
