Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

UPS Freight Volvo VNL300 & 28' Doubles - By Steve Solombrino


Here are a pair of close-up photos of Steve Solombrino's UPS Freight set that we introduced in Photo Gallery 572. The truck tractor is a factory painted Trucks N' Stuff model with added details and paint including corner mirrors, antenna and license plate. Steve modified the fuel tanks and added air lines and a trailer electrical cord. The Overnight trailer was found on eBay. It is a Railpower Products kit that Steve has added details to, especially on the rear in order to accommodate hookups for doubles including pintle hook, chain loop and accommodations for hoses and trailer electrical cord. The converter dolly is an Athearn model and has added air lines and safety chains. The UPS Freight trailer is also a Railpower Products kit and Steve has added details similar to the lead trailer including accommodations for air and electrical lines, pintle hook and chain loop.
