I need to find a least three of the following trailer hitch in 1:50 scale:



Any info where I could get them would be appreciated, also what is the correct name for this? “trailer hitch” doesn’t get many hits in EBay.

Can we see the rest of the model and do you know if it has the normal type of Fith Wheel for towing trailers.

Hi Kevin,
This is the tow hitch on the back of the dolly. I’m trying to do a road train in scale 1:50 and need the tow hitch’s for attaching the dolly to the lead trailer. The dolly has the fifth wheel.

I think you have it right. A fith wheel mounted on a twin axle hitch trailer is often called a 'Dolly' while we are more likely to call it a tow hitch. The particular design of hitch on the model in your picture may be unique to the model's designer and not an accurate representation of a real hitch which usually have a centreing design to help position the drawbar into the hole and pin area. As it is, it looks like a very big office Bulldog Clip to me!

So, tow hitch it is

Not quite sure if you have understood what I’m looking for.

This is the dolly:



This is the trailer:

No hitch on the lead trailer. I need the tow hitch to add to the back of the trailer so I can couple the following trailer to it. Just the bit that the drawbar locks into not the whole dolly.

Yes I did understand but it is very unlikely you will be able to buy just the actual securing item, which on a real vehicle would be a pin and hole which is the bit looking like a big bulldog clip.


It is the item in my red circle that you want but I think the design is unique to that particular brand of model and if you could get just that item how will it fix to the back of the truck.

Rod could you not replicate a trailer hitch using plasticard.

Not sure what plasticard are is.

Here in Germany when I google I only get credit card manufacturers.
