Roadtrain: BQuad of 4 x 40foot containers


The round bit at the rear is a streamlined cowling that covers a turntable, so another trailer can be added. Still to do: container detailing, logos, lights, road and background, cabin doors & detailing, roo-bar.

Roadtrains are generally restricted to the non-urban western areas of the country where the roads are straight for long stretches. In places where tight turning is needed, like at traffic lights, the surface is concrete.

I don't know how they build roads there but here they mix a 2-foot deep layer of subsoil with gypsum, wet and compact it, then lay and compact heavy gravel layers each of which is sprayed with bitumen, then surfaced with compacted
fine gravel and a bitumen/rubber binding compound mix.

Anyway, a road's natural state is to be corrugated. Smooth road surfaces are unnatural.
