This is a Ford Aeromax 120 built using a cab and side skirts from High Speed (Boley). The wheels are made of resin. For a more realistic appearance a Herpa steering setup was installed on the truck tractor. The chassis is a Herpa/Promotex product. The trailer is a six axle 50' heavy duty Nooteboom trailer, built from a resin kit by the German model manufacturer VK-Modellbahnzubehör. Four of the six axles of the Nooteboom trailer model are steerable as well as on the prototype. Therefore this rig can drive through very small curve radii or can turn on very narrow places. The trailer axles 1, 4, 5 and 6 (counting from the front) are steerable. The cargo load consists of five pieces of copper-pipe tarped with a paper-handkerchief. The photo was taken on Ralf's truck stop layout. The truck tractor was also shown in Photo Gallery 177.
