The Dolly unit was detachable but instead of a modern type 'fifth wheel' unit it was a more semi permanent type that you had to partially dismantle to remove the trailer.
I have all the information I need on the trailer as I have already built one using photos and measurements supplied by Bob Mosley off a real one in South Australia. I just need info on the Dolly unit to get it more accurate and make it a normal towed trailer rather then a semi trailer. Mind You as no one seems to really know what it looks like if I make one that suits no one can tell me it is wrong

PS> trailer boards (slats) are 5 to 6inches wide and not woven with channel iron.
