Mike Smith modified a Matchbox Hendrickson Relay truck tractor to build this model. Mike bought the truck for $3.00 at an estate sale and added Boley wheels, Roco mudflaps, an Alloy Forms fuel tank, and some mirrors from his parts box. The trailer is an old white metal kit. The load is a 600 ton press similar to one Mike runs at his workplace. It is made of glued and painted Legos and wired to the trailer. Mike reports his 5 year old added a priceless comment; she said, "Daddy you're not supposed to paint Legos!"
