Mark Wayman built this railroad icing truck using a Clayton Alvey B model Mack resin casting mounted on a heavy duty stretched and reinforced Athearn three axle truck frame with Herpa tires and wheels. The ice platform is from a Walthers Magnuson kit and has been modified and mounted on a scratchbuilt heavy duty plastic bed base with rear bumper. The cab platform is also scratchbuilt using a headache rack from Richard Mark. The hydraulic compressor motor is also a resin casting from Richard Mark as is the front bumper/grille guard. The air horn and fuel tanks came from Alloy Forms. These units were used to ice railroad reefer cars by lifting the ice blocks up to the top of the cars using the lift platform.
