This oversize load happens to be the Classic Construction Miniatures Caterpillar 992G wheel loader. It is being pulled by a twin steer modified Herpa/Promotex Peterbilt 362. The trailer is scratchbuilt and features a scissor-like mechanism to expand the width to the necessary size to accommodate the load. Jan photographed the real truck while visiting relatives in Australia. The real truck belongs to the well-known firm of Brambles. Photo by Jan Scholten, H0 Modelautoclub NL
