Rumor has it that the International 4300 & log trailers are starting to show up at LHS! Support you LHS.

I just got back from the lhs with the amt logging trailer and the amt flatbed.I bought both for 70$canadian and am happy with that.I dont know how the kits are but I am not worried because at the rate that I build(and with the world ending in 2012) They will remain unopened ,shawn.

Logging trailers have been out for about a month, same as the Freightliner Dual Drive.

The 4300 just came out last week, so some LHS should be getting them soon, mine arrive on Monday for the shop. Still have a flatbed, and 2 logging trailers in stock, and a couple more Freightliners arriving with the 4300s on Monday!

My supplier for AMT/Round 2 is Stevens....they had them on Tuesday, which means they will be at my PO Box on Monday, and hopefully up on the website Tuesday or Wednesday.

Stay tuned to Elm City Hobbies

Hi Jim
They are trusses from my point of view.I just opened the box and in the instructions they are called truss beams as well.I would take a pic and post but never did figure out how to post photos,the reason my 100's of rig photos are not up.I have tons of pics,loggers,oilfield and so on.shawn.

You are correct sir...I think I typed in "I-beams"...well....I don't know why!
Posting pics is easy...once you get used to it{like anything else}.
-Got a digi camera? - take pics and load them in a file on your computor that you can easily find.
-Got an online pic host like photobucket{which is free} to load to.
-Once loaded in phototbucket{photobucket.com} you can easily copy them as "img" and load them here in a post . I'll walk ya through it all if ya like.
