Kenworth W900 & Maersk Double Containers - By Jim Groeneweg


Jim Groeneweg tells us this is another one out of the archives; the Kenworth tractor is a Yatming or Road Champs originally that has been somewhat modified. This truck is a little foggy as it was along time ago that it was done. Jim says it looks to him it has a Cox (Peterbilt) frame modified to accept LeeTown tires/wheels with Herpa battery boxes and mirrors. The 60" Aerodyne bunk was cut down to a flat top (too bad now) and was painted in the Trojan color scheme. The scene here is likely a "resold" truck or the owner decided to change from steel hauling to container hauling. This would be a typical set up to haul container in the late 70's early 80's. The containers are of course the Athearn units paired up with an A-Line convertor dolly that has been painted to match the container chassis. Below is a closer view of the chassis and dolly.
