Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

'70s Freightliner Truck Tractors & 40' Refrigerated Trailers - By Jim Groeneweg


These photos reflect a pair of owner operators resting along a roadside rest area waiting for sunrise.......getting ready to hit the road! The red WFC120 was introduced back in Photo Gallery 183. The White Freightliner is a 1973 COE using the updated Athearn model as a base, Lee Town Models six spoke wheels added along with wheel well flares, a sun visor, frame mounted dual stacks with center air intake indicating the 8V71 Detroit Diesel power and painted in an early Freightliner scheme.

Both tractors are mated to the very impressive Trainworx trailers, one with side door and Thermo-King reefer (undecorated version) painted up and the other featuring an A-Line '70s Thermo-King reefer.
