the double crew cab is one of the six that came as gift from the owner of Gulf-Atlantic-Pacific HO Railroad in Arcadia Florida (USA)... while the 40-foot container is made (it's a poor man's project) of cardstock... the tires are 87th scale resin casts made by a fellow modeler member of IPMS-Philippines Bert Anido chapter . .
And, finally the decal sheet.. earlier was described as Ink-Jet printed was actually done with ALPS MD5500 Printer due to the presence of the white image on the decals....
