Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

L. Breton Transport Volvo 42T630 Truck Tractor & Pneumatic Bulk B-Train - By André Giroux


Here is another pair of photos of André Giroux's Fruehauf design, 1000 cu. ft. aluminium pneumatic bulk trailer built using one of his own trailer tank kits combined with an Athearn 40' container chassis, A-Line wheels and mud flaps, and additional miscellaneous accessories. Malo Transport, L. Breton Transport Ltée, and Transport Chalut 2000 are three affiliated Canadian transport companies involved in lime transport that use this style trailer. The truck tractor began as a Trucks N' Stuff Volvo VNL780. André modified the roof, the sleeper (new 42"), and fairings and enlarged the side windows. The new frame is from Promotex; the new model is a Volvo 42T630. André painted the truck and trailer, the decals are homemade. Previously featured in Photo Gallery 604.
