Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

GMC 860 & Mack MB600 Truck Tractors - By John Soehner


John Soehner built both these orange GMC 860 truck tractors from Sylvan Scale Products resin kits. The GMC 860s, one with a sleeper compartment, the other a day cab, were both fitted to Athearn chassis with Athearn wheels. The fuel tanks were cut from the original Sylvan chassis and glued to the Athearn frames. Both GMCs have diamond tread chassis deck plates made from Crestor medical packaging. The red cabover truck tractor is a Ralph Ratcliffe Models Mack MB600 resin cab mounted on a Promotex chassis with Promotex wheels and tires. The air cleaner and exhaust stack were made from styrene.
