Kevin Shanahan's fictitious Oscar Shaughnessey Construction Company (OS) recently took delivery of a new Komatsu 575 Super Dozer (featured in Photo Galleries 493 and 494). This machine was delivered by Shanahan Equipment Company using their nine axle Cozad trailer. OS Construction is shown in these photos removing their old Caterpillar D11R from their property. They have leased the Shanahan Equipment Company 9 axle Cozad trailer to deliver the Cat D11R back to the local Cat dealer.

The Cozad nine axle trailer model is described in Photo Gallery 494. The Peterbilt four axle tractor is a Classic Mint Collectibles brass model with a scratchbuilt winch and headache rack added behind the cab. Herpa accessories are added including the radiator guard. The "Oversize Load" signs are from Zycon Models, decals are Microscale, license plates from Howard's Hobby, and the figures are from Preiser. The Caterpillar D11R is a brass model from Classic Construction Models, with the blade removed for shipment, and weathering to reflect heavy and extended use. The escort vehicles are River Point Station Ford Expeditions custom painted and decaled in OS Construction livery.
