Here are some photos of a scratch built generator trailer, essential for providing power during a launch.
Wheels were from the spares box and the rest is bits of plastic card and so on.

It obviously not subtle if you can see it.

Getting ready for a launch.
Making the wiring and connections from the rocket to the generator and then to the control vehicle.
Some selective compression will be needed to display this as the individual elements could be 300-400  feet apart.

More wires added.
I now need to connect up the control vehicle and add a few more wires.

Hi Zak,
Nice to see you have all your wires still connected and your still in control (however, only just!)
It looked great at Bolton, and this further addition will only elevate your V-2 and equipment.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

No this will not be there, only room for one display possibly, depends on how many are going.

Hi Zak,
With all those wires, can you now plat Fog?
Seems you need many hands, or just a lot of patience to lay all those links in place..........
