Martin Phippard (no mean expert on road trains, triples and doubles) says: "Call that a B-Triple? Na mate, THIS is a B-TRIPLE! (Photo courtesy of Tom O'Connor, Adelaide). And Brian, I reckon that Kiwi B-Triple looks suspiciously like a regular 40-foot semi-trailer parked in front of a B-train. Maybe not a re-touched photo but a deliberate ploy to mislead us methinks? Martin.".
"Sorry, couldn't resist another one!" says Martin. Well who could when it's one like this? So what do you reckon Vic--genuine or not?
Hi Martin
It was a genuine photo, of a genuine truck; no photoshop, no dodgy parking or anything like that. However I must admit it doesn't normally go on the road like that as B-triples are not legal in NZ, as I'm sure Robert Dick knows. The new owner of the R-model that I used to drive just hooked up one set of B-train (B-Double) trailers to the front trailer of another B-train and hooked the lot up to my old R-model and drove it out onto the road for a photo and back again.
