Thomas Lehndorff had this collection of dump trucks on display at the 2013 Fulda Meet. From left to right, a Mack DM600 using a Ralph Ratcliffe Models resin cab and dump body, a Mack DM600 steel hood and modified dump trailer (two axles instead of three) from Ralph Ratcliffe Models, a detailed River Point Station Ford F-350 pickup, a Kenworth 884C almost completely scratchbuilt, using only the cab based on the Athearn cab. The last one is an Kaelble K4V W615Z heavy hauler with fixed mounted ballast box. Eight of the prototypes were built in 1984 and delivered to Turkey. The truck has all wheel drive, a 615hp MAN V12 engine coupled to an Allison transmission. They were the last heavy haul trucks build by Kaelble. The model is a resin kit that Thomas cast. The pattern master was built by Stefan Jung and modified by Thomas before casting.
