Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Trican Kenworth K100 Truck Tractor & Pneumatic Bulk B-Train - By Günter Storch


Günter Storch built this Kenworth K100 truck tractor pulling a B-Train pneumatic unit running for Trican Well Services in Alberta, Canada. Günter's model is a Promotex K100 fitted with some self made toolboxes. The pneumatic hoppers are from a Decal Print model (now out of production) shortened to two bay hoppers and then glued together again. This job was done by Günter's brother who has always a good hand; he had
only one try! The chassis and the spare parts on the hoppers where scratchbuilt from Evergreen styrene parts. Self printed water slide decals with the Trican logo and a livery in metallic paint making it look like the real one. Günter wants to thank Mr. Rob Groot from Alberta for his enthusiastic photos from the Alberta roadside! Günter says he'll be inspired every time he takes a look.
