Here's another batch of Gary Smith's fleet models on display at the 2014 East Coast Meet in W. Springfield, MA. Gary is one of our resident "fleet guys." Shown above from left to right is a St. Johnsbury Ford LNT-9000 truck tractor built from an Atlas model outfitted with prototypically correct Dayton spoke wheels. Next in line is a Coles Express Freightliner cabover built from a shortened sleeper cab Athearn model and repainted in Coles' classic orange paint. Note the little dinky 15" wheels on the pusher axle. The Averitt Express truck tractor is a Peterbilt 362 built using a Herpa/Promotex model with A-Line two hole disc wheels. The green Freightliner day cab is another Athearn model that has been shortened from the original sleeper configuration.
