Lucas Gresham built this CSX Transportation International 7600 Hy-Rail boom truck pulling a Case 580 backhoe/loader. The CSX truck started as an orange Boley trash truck. The trash body was removed and replaced with a Boley long stake bed. The cab was repainted white. The boom is from an Athearn boom truck. Custom Hy-Rail wheels were built out of N scale train wheels and styrene . Custom made CSX decals finished the truck up.
The Case 580 is a hard to find discontinued Norscot model. It has custom hydraulic lines and a custom cribbing bucket. The trailer is also custom built. In the foreground above is a NCDOT surveyor truck featured elsewhere in this gallery.
