    There is no space to lift this one.

    You are right about small tires, ratio between weights of drive vs push axle is big so truck still keep nice to drive.

    This one got low ratio, wide and low tires and short suspension stroke.

    You are right, it is lifted. Sorry my mistake.

    It looks light to me as well. It has double rails per side so this seems ok. But height adjust dont seems to be very robust
     
    Oxbow and haycarter Thank this.

    What do you call 2 B trains hooked to each other with a dolly?
    A double B train?
