Siku Road Train

Post by Viewfield »

I've been after a model of a road train for many a blue moon. Inspite of several visits to Australia I've never found a realistic model at a price I could afford, or was prepared to pay.
Returning to Germany I found this:

Had to buy two for the third trailer but with a total cost of €35.00 including post for both I am very happy.

I have often wondered how a collector of such 'Road Train' models displays them, must take up a lot of room...!

Yes, you've either got room or no room.
I've got room, you guys are really missing something!

Sweeeeeeeet!
Really nice set that, and I presume you've got a spare cab now?
Always wondered, does the real thing get driven in forwards for unloading, or uncoupled and shunted? I wouldn't fancy reversing that, worse than a drag on!

Yes I have a spare cab and trailer.
I have see a road train driver in Australia reverse a "train" with five!! trailers in a loading dock. Amazing what these men do!
