Our youngest modeler participant at this year's show, 14 year old Alex Melnychuk, kitbashed this nifty little mobile home "toter" truck tractor using an Athearn Freightliner. Alex shortened the wheelbase, fitted the fuel tanks to a more typical location under the cab, and added the wide mirrors and rotating beacon commonly seen on trucks of this type. The trailer is a die-cast toy of unknown origin. On display again at the 2014 East Coast Meet in W. Springfield, MA.
