Unloading Railroad Couplers - By Jesse Weigand

This little scene on Jesse Weigand's CSX diorama shows workers unloading railroad car couplers from the flatbed Ford F-350. All three of the Ford trucks in this scene originated as River Point Station extended cab pickup truck models. The cab on the model in the lower left has been shortened to a standard cab configuration. The truck in the center has a modified Lonestar Models staked bed body with Custom Finishing Models job site tool box up front and the model on the upper right has the optional River Point Station toolboxes and overhead ladder rack installed. Details abound and are from a variety of sources. On display at the 2014 East Coast Meet in W. Springfield, MA.
