These photos of Jesse Weigand's latest CSX maintenance of way trucks feature a regular International 4400 cab stake bed truck, International 7600 crew cab stake bed truck, and a Mack CH tri-axle dump truck. The two stake beds feature cabs from Boley with stake bodies from kitbashed Lonestar Models kits. Fuel tanks and underbody toolboxes are from Dennis Aust while above body toolboxes are from River Point Station. The rear step assemblies of both stake bed trucks are scratchbuilt from styrene and brass. The crew cab stake bed truck features scratchbuilt hi-rail gear, custom decals and accessories. The rear of the dump truck (below) shows a Ralph Ratcliffe dump body mounted on a Herpa chassis rolling on Dennis Aust wheels and rims. The dump truck also features a Lonestar Models pintle hitch, balsa wood sideboards, custom decals, Plano chrome tipped mud flaps and scratchbuilt Coverall tarp system. The railroad maintenance of way models in the background include a spiker, crane, and jet snow blower built from Custom Finishing white metal kits.
