Peterbilt 389 Truck Tractor & Heavy Lowboy With Caterpillar D9T - By John Scull


Here's a new Peterbilt 389 tri-axle truck tractor hauling a brand new Cat D9T dozer over the temporary road at Slynn Pass. The truck tractor is a modified Trucks N' Stuff Peterbilt 389 with stock condo sleeper with a straightened and stretched frame to accommodate a tri-axle drive. John installed Herpa dual wheels and tires on the drive axles and wide tires and wheels on the front axle. There's a Norscot battery box on the driver's side and a Dennis Aust cab protector/toolbox behind the sleeper. The nine axle trailer was kitbashed from two Norscot tri-axle lowboy trailers. The front jeep was built using a truck tractor frame and goose neck from the second trailer. The pusher was scratchbuilt and kitbashed, marker lights were scratchbuilt. The Caterpillar D9T is from Norscot.
