This Mack CH613 truck tractor was upgraded by Jesse Weigand with Boley wheels, a lift axle, Dennis Aust headache rack/toolbox, and a knuckleboom crane. The dropdeck trailer is a Promotex/Herpa model loaded with a wealth of track signal details, many on pallets, all tied down with simulated nylon tie down ratchet straps. The Ford F-350 dump truck on the rails in the background was built by Ian Cooperstein. Ian built the little dump truck from a River Point Station Ford F-350 pickup truck and a scratchbuilt dump bed with a hi-rail setup and light bar on the roof. On display at the 2014 East Coast Meet in W. Springfield, MA.
