Custom Vehicle - B Train Double

Attempting to copy and edit an existing WB-?? to make what I need. I am struggling to determine how a B-Train can be configured since this is not a typical drawbar. I tried finding something close to this from the AASHTO 2011 catalog but this is not one. 
Has anyone else created a B-Train double?

 

Here are a couple of similar examples from USDOT Federal Highway Administration.

Any ideas are welcome.

Hey hi @Chuck_L_AKS 

Not to much activity on this section for VT but i did a few vehicles (Redone the TAC 2019 and Quebec transportation ministry cars)

I'd simply copy an existing one and adapt it to your needs

Not sure if that answers your question but if not ill try to help out

Thank you @cyberflow this is a pretty quiet part of the forums. I will be copying one that is similar but, this type of drawbar is unique. I'm not sure how to configure it on the form. We have a team designing a roundabout and this was one of the vehicles to design for. VT seems to have another limitation.

If I can get this configured, I will share the results. 

Thanks again Frank!

Just figured out how the AASHTO named their trucks :

Yes, this is the one I am starting with. Agreed, the AASHTO naming is quite something. However, I need more dimensions of the truck the jurisdiction specified. I have some but not enough to finish it. I guess they are popular for hauling hay. Okay, great background information, but I need more specific data. 

Thanks again for the prompt response.
