This model is of the Nooteboom 2+4 Euro-PX Low Loader
which can be configured with or without the interdolly.
This version of the model is one of the Nooteboom Red
Line series and is modelled in 1:32 scale.
Packaging
The model comes in a Nooteboom branded box.
The review model had no
defects or missing pieces.
A leaflet describes the assembly of the model, but
unusually fro a Nooteboom model there is no information
about the real trailer.
Detail
The trailer consists of the deck and rear module, a
2-axle interdolly and the goosenck.
The gooseneck has a spare wheel at the front, and the
metal sideboards are plain. Nice graphics around the
edge include the Nooteboom name, and the controls and
dials on one side are very good.
The interdolly also has nice graphics and edge stripes,
and soft hoses connect to the gooseneck.
The main deck has a replica timber surface which could
do with a little more texturing in the moulding.
Edge stripes are provided although they are partly
obscured by folding cantilever brackets for the deck
width extensions. The rear module has nice
texturing of bolt positions on top, and the graphics are
very good although there is no number plate.
The underside of the deck has cast downstand supports
which maintain the level of the deck at all times, but
the compromise is that they drag if the model is rolled.
Separate marker boards can be added. Metal deck
posts can also be fitted and they fit very well.
Timber deck width beams can be added. They are
moulded as full length beams to make them easy to fit,
but they have no timber texturing at all so they look
plastic which is a disappointment.
Features
The rear module axles on the trailer steer
proportionally, and the axles have fully sprung suspension.
The interdolly axles have parallel steering and sprung
suspension.
The trailer deck is extendible.
The trailer can be configured with or without the
interdolly.
Quality
This is a good quality trailer.
The paintwork and graphics are
very good.
Price
The model is good value considering the size.
Overall
This large trailer is a welcome addition to models in
1:32 scale, and looks very impressive with a suitable
tractor and load.
Footnotes
The model was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in
2020
and became available in May 2021.
