Two resin engines. The first one is the M-11. 2nd is a N-14. Built by Lance Gregory

IH 4300 with peerless logger plumbed the engine on the truck, added a few little details, but built basically box stock, used one coat lacquer paint on it, and the supplied decals, I will be weathering it also, but it is pretty much done for now. Jim Brown

1953 Autocar and matching Great Dane trailer. The trailer was a "glue bomb" from the junk box. Thanks to Dave Natale for the 50's Autocar hood, grill, radiator, saddle tanks, and wheels/tires. The cab and fenders are Spaulding. Terry Williams

The Ford truck, orginally, was a Ford Shorthauler that I modified to a tractor-trailer combination. The tractor became a winch truck with a tractor package from scratch...the trailer was built from scratch except for the wheels and tires...notice the pivotal suspension on the trailer. Don Parrish

Finished the IH4300 logger this morning. I used an IH 4300 Race Truck for the tractor and stretched the chassis to give it a longer wheelbase and added a stinger. The engine is a Cummins from a Pete 359. Rear suspension is a Plastkit rubber block walking beam. Wheels are Wicker two holes with Gary Wallace drive tires, and Ertl tires on the steers and trailer. The trailer came from the Ertl Paystar logger kit. The trailer was detailed using styrene, spare parts, brass tubing, and vinyl chord. Sheet vinyl was used for the mud flaps on the tractor and trailer. Both tractor and trailer are fully plumbed. Chain binders came from STS. Colors are Dupli Color Chrome yellow and Valspar Hunter green with silver trailer reach. The Universal Logging decals and the truck number are from the re-released log trailer. I added Yreka, CA to the doors using rub on letters. Paul Bernard

I know the Brockway 776 plow truck was in before but I took a better full view shot and with the snow this year it may be a good one. Dave Natale

Can-Do wrecker is basically out of the box with a few add ons from Scale Equipment. The Gateway Mack has grill and bumper painted for a different appearance. Bulldogs and decals are from Spaulding, air lines and glad hands are from Clint Freeman Components. Warren Kostick
