Chris made a real frame extension. Nicely done too.

Yes, Sorry, yes, I drew up the frame extension,
the only modification to the ten wheeler change is shortening the top bar and bolting on the changes, then i carried the equalization all the way back

I see references to a video which for some reason I don’t see on my ipad.
Is there a link I can use to see the video?

that's super interesting how you did that.

I could see Allen offering a trailing truck option like this for a 2-8-2, 2-6-2, or 4-6-2.

Your main frame is bar stock vs water jet? - I guess being bar stock it makes this mod a little easier.

it was the bar stock frame, but it wouldn't be hard to carry this over to the water jet frame rails.
