Freightliner FL8664 Truck Tractor & Grain A-Train - By Ryan Harris


Ryan Harris built this rig using an Athearn Freightliner model with A-Line two hole steel wheels. The trailers are a stock Lonestar Models 43' Wilson trailer and a pup built from another Lonestar trailer cut in half, one of two Ryan made from a single kit. He made an impression of the ends in some molten wax and cast duplicate ends to finish off the cut ends to make two pup trailers. This A-train arrangement is common in North Dakota, so having two pups means he's got a good start on a respectable grain fleet.
