Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Mack B-61 Truck Tractors - By Alex Melnychuk


Alex Melnychuk detailed a pair of factory painted Athearn Mack B-61 models. The tandem axle Union Pacific Mack (yellow, left) has a lot of modifications; the yellow air hose is from a old computer, the antenna is scratchbuilt, added brass chain and two natural lumber sticks. The Southern Pacific red and orange Mack has several modifications to it; like new front axles from Herpa, scratchbuilt antenna (you can't see it but it has a wire connection to the rear window of the cab, that wire is made of brass), air hoses from an old computer, and a pintle hook for smaller trailers.
