Peterbilt 389 Truck Tractor & Anhydrous Ammonia Tank Trailer - By Fred Gruin


Fred Gruin built this anhydrous ammonia tanker using a soft plastic toilet paper roll with tank ends from Chuck's Casting Service. Running gear for the trailer is three Trucks N' Stuff bogies with Matchbox wheels. Fenders on both units are styrene as is the hose holder. The truck tractor is a Tonkin Peterbilt 389, unmodified. Length of the tank barrel is 41 scale feet with an additional 2' for the suspension and rear end protection.
