This Canadian Freightways B-train combination by Jim
Groeneweg was first shown back in Photo
Gallery 48. The much modified truck tractor is detailed elsewhere
in Photo Gallery 48.
The trailers are both Walthers Stoughton 48' cut down to a 32' lead
trailer and 28' pup. The pup has an Athearn suspension (single axle
fixed) and the lead has the original changed to 60" spread with
scratchbuilt fenders and sliding tandem B-train configuration typical
of what Canadian Freightways uses. These closely resemble Manac trailers.
Microscale decals were used for all CF lettering, and placard info;
A-Line decals were applied for the conspicuity (safety) stripes on the
trailers. Paint for the entire unit is all authentic CF fleet colors
in basecoat/clearcoat. Displayed at the 2002 Midwest Meet
in Chicago.
