Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Canadian National GMC General Dump Truck & Backhoe/Loader - By Tom Fitzpatrick


Tom Fitzpatrick built this GMC General dump truck with Hiab crane using a Herpa/Promotex model. It is shown pulling a modified Kibri tag along trailer with a Kibri backhoe/front end loader. The General has a new custom built front grille guard as well as headache rack which has a Roco amber light mounted on top. The crane was built from a Kibri kit and the original dump box was shortened to allow room for the crane. A trailer hitch has been attached and modified Kibri flatbed trailer has been modified to a float by adding the hitch "Y" and assembly forward, the load is a Kibri backhoe/front end loader. Decals are homemade.
