Hobby Lobby 53' Stoughton Trailer - By Dale Henigman


Dale Henigman used a Walthers 53' Stoughton trailer kit to build this Hobby Lobby trailer. Dale used Athearn wheels on this model. The artwork for the decals was done in Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Publisher at Dale's local library. Dale used a belt sander to sand off the swing doors and then installed an A-Line roll up door. Safety decals and stripes were hand drawn for the decals. The pintle hitch assembly was fabricated from .015" wire; these trailers can operate as turnpike doubles. Lifting pad/runners were made from soda can aluminum stock.
