These Kenworth T800W truck tractors (above and below) by Thomas Kelly began as Trucks N' Stuff/Ton models. Thomas kitbashed the bridge beam carrier components using Herpa log dollies (rear) modified to place the wheels closer to the rear and the Herpa lowboy dollies (front) with cradles added. The brake/lights hoses were made using thin wire wrapped around a wooden dowel then stretched out to length with a very thin wire acting as the guide. The Ford F-250 pickup truck above is a River Point Station model towing a air compressor built from a Custom Finishing Models pewter kit. On display at the 2014 East Coast Meet in W. Springfield, MA.
