Hi all I have been watching you for a year and trying to join this time I did it . I model 1/13.7 trains (Maine 2 foot ) since 1988 when I built my first boxcar . 25 years later I now own a king hauler . This will be a railroad MOW truck . I will try to send some more pics later . I want thank grumpy Grady for helping me join and whoever at RC truck let me join . My KH will be getting a day cab with diamond angular fenders , after that a removable flat deck to carry railway tools . It will removable so I can attach me to be built lowboy trailer so the railroad can move locos to shows etc . Thanks again Mikem
