Here's a photo of Jim Groeneweg's original FLD120 model we showed back in Photo Gallery 38. The cab is cut down from a COE kit, the hood, grille, side fairings, and bumper were scratchbuilt. Additionally, Herpa wheels and modified sleeper, and an Athearn modified frame was used to complete the truck tractor. The trailer is Walthers' 48' Stoughton with sliding tridem (60" spread) with Herpa wheels. This Freightliner cab is now available as a resin conversion kit from Jim's Jacobs Models. Jim has also recently introduced a "condo" sleeper bunk to go with this cab.
