Finished my trailer restoration today . It’s the first one behind the Jeep . The second one i already had . All the electricty is completed so the train is now street legal in time for D Day . I will travel around my area tomorrow to commemorate the «*Longest Day«* . Can someone please post Can / Brit Aust/ NZ Jeep trailer train pictures from WW2 to accompany me virtually ? Thanks . Cheers . Bob

A last one . I have to put a proper Canadian CM number on that Jeep !

In this province that would not be legal. The first trailer has to be a fifth wheel type trailer in order to have a second trailer attached to it.
Edited to add: I had a quick look and I don't think you are allowed two trailers behind a SUV in Quebec.


Great looking train nonetheless.

Hi Rob, thanks for your comments .Each of the trailers have the original Park and Brake lights working. There are double safety chains on both . The original impact brakes work just fine and both trailers are plated . I am fully aware of the rules and i am pushing the envelope here . I did have a police car pass me twice , turning around and coming back to check my setup then park . He must of called his Sunray for direction . I was going 30 Mph on a 90 Mph posted highway so he had ample time to catch up if Sunray had any issues ..... So technicaly i did a road convoy with Jeep trailers in train with a police escort in a Canadian province on the eve of D Day . I intend to repeat the feat today on the actual D Day . Anybody else up for the chalenge ? We shall remember them .
