Re: HO Scale Trucks/vehicles - Schraddel - 10-22-2016
Found on my attic:

There were 2 flatbed trailers of unknown origin. I added scratch built front bulkheads, landing gears and mudflaps and paited the decks somewhat wood coloured.
That was a quick and dirty recycling job.
The 11' - 8" bridge has got a bad sister, 10' - 6", watch yourself :

She does not open box trucks, she is really turning them into flatbed ones

I just discovered this thread. The picture you showed of the Carrier King Bird is actually wrong for this model. The model refrigeration unit is a Thermo-King truck unit. If you google Thermo-King you should find plenty of prototype pics to help you.

I put this paper roll fork lift together using a wiking forklift and a herpa logging grapple. I purchased a set of Walthers paper rolls and they are way to big for the grapple so some scratch built ones might need to be made.
I'm also going to start a NJ state police crown vic. I'm going to repaint it white, paint the interior, add a river point station light bar and I have my eye on a 3d printed push bar.
I soaked the shell in alcohol and the paint doesn't want to come off, I might try to paint it grey then paint it white.

Finished assembling one of the Ratcliffe garbage kits, I messed around with some weathering in the rear hopper area I just need to figure out getting decals made.

Re: HO Scale Trucks/vehicles - Rscott417 - 02-10-2017
I'll be working on a couple MoW vehicles. While I'm waiting on parts this is what I have so far.

Also I took one of those Mitsubishi flatbed trucks and put a Busch dry van box on it.

Re: HO Scale Trucks/vehicles - Rscott417 - 02-26-2017
An update for the MoW vehicles, the trident truck got running boards, hi-rail gear and River Point hi rail wheels. I have another RPS hi rail truck and I might try a 3D printed utility body from shapeways but not high on the priority list.

Also I'm looking to do probably 2 Jevic Freightliners with 53' trailers. I got 2 A-line trailer kits and chopped off the swing doors and applied roll up doors.

Re: HO Scale Trucks/vehicles - Rscott417 - 07-16-2017
Finally got 1 Jevic truck done. I saw a malibu models freightliner Columbia on ebay so I purchased that while I wait for the other freightliner cabs. I'd like to put mirrors on the hood but its a metal cab so I don't know how I'd drill the holes.

My Athearn Schneider trailer finally got a cab in the form of a resin international 9700 kit. Just need to order decals.
