Watkins Motor Lines Truck Models
#1
As mentioned in my Gordon Trucking thread, I have been working on a couple Watkins Motor Lines trailers as well. Ive only got the trailers decaled so far, and parts are on their way to finish these ones off as well. I ordered a Ford Aeromax truck to decal for Watkins Motor Lines that will be used with these 2 trailers I figure I can have the truck hooked up to the 28'er and make it look as if the driver is switching trailers at a building dock with the 48'er...

Here are the pictures of the 28' pup trailer. The Mack CH 603 that is hooked up to the trailer is only a temporary placement, I needed a truck to hook up to the trailer for the pictures because I cut the trailers landing gear to represent the "up" position for a trailer that is on the road instead of the molded "down" position that would be seen when the trailer is dropped at a dock.

Those Watkins truck lines trailers that you so nicely detailed would now look good with the FedEx L-T-L paint scheme now. Sorry, I just had to throw that in there. I'm a "newbie" to this forum and I'm now just getting around to reading earlier threads. Sorry
