        Paystar 5000 is a classic model ERTL, but with some modifications the drive tandem is moving behind a third lift axle home made, the wheels are coming from Italeri.     Pascal Monteil

    International classic dump truck with the cab guard dropping on the cab.     Pascal Monteil

          This tractor was a Ford snow plow, as you can see the snow plow was changed out to a tractor package..the trailer pictured here was built from scratch with the tires/wheels coming from the extra parts box..plastic for the trailer was from the "dump body" snowplow, body from a Louisville short hauler and Evergreen plastics..the air brake lines are under the trailer and connect to the rear of the tractor so not to become tangled in the blower behind the cab.     Don Parrish

                          Here is a flatbed that I ran across at a garage sale, of all places, so I did what I could and tried to make it a outside rail flat...It needed to be repainted and being that it had no sides, I tried to make it look like very aged trailer, not sure what it was to begin with.  Here is a few pics of the Transtar COE I did many years ago, and the tank trailer. These models have been thru many moves and have taken a real beating but I keep piecing them back.     Pete Black

                  I worked hard to construct this outside rail flatbed..I got the pieces all ready  in the beginning stages at a garage sale. I almost fell over when the guy said take it...I have no use for it anymore. I did the constructing for the side rails..and the back..and did the painting..then added the hooks for heavy hauling in the Alaska tundra..as the plate shows..its from AK..the axles are from the amt cattle trailer which had all of the beginning parts in it when I got it..I took the old container and painted it and made it a nuclear waste containment unit..I tried to do it from my memory of seeing one of those in a picture some time ago..the decals I made on the computer..the decals on the doors of the mack are my own co. logo that I thought had a ring to it..North Polar Express..out of Wasilla, AK.     Pete Black
