Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Canadian National Mack CH613 Truck Tractor - By Ian Campbell


First time contributor Ian Campbell sent us this photo of his Promotex Mack CH613 truck tractor in Canadian National's most modern intermodal paint scheme. Ian superdetailed the truck by adding steps behind the cab, CB antennas to the mirrors, radio antenna to the bunk, "lightning rods" to the outer bumper, pogo stick to the back platform behind the bunk, and air and electrical lines for the trailer. All the disc wheel holes have been drilled out to give that depth effect. Ian used Scalecoat II CN Sig Lines CN red/orange locomotive paint for the nose and partial cab and Floquil engine black for the rest of the body. He used Microscale N scale CN locomotive decals for this HO truck as they were almost the proper size; he had to cut the locomotive stripes in half for the cab stripes.
