A superb build for sure I like it and the details are awesome. It’s great all the modelers took the time to chip in to help you create your dream. Well done Jeff.

Very nice build I like the color scheme it’s and a great tribute. I’m sorry for your loss I was fortunate enough like Steve to ride with my dad when I was very young and as I got older he taught me how to drive a truck. I can just imagine the emptiness you feel.

Brian catching up and liked all the details added since I left. I like those chains another nice touch.

Going to be nice and interesting build Gary. I’ll be dropping in now and then.

I’ve made those kinda load for my Gondola and Hopper cars using the same method on my model Railroads. I might try it. Thanks for the reminder. If you want to see some of my model Railroads Ho Scale and O scale I think it’s here somewhere 😂. Scott thanks for stopping by I appreciate it.

Gary thanks I appreciate that I’m glad you like it.

Thanks for stopping by Brian for the compliment. That’s a reflection of the light I don’t have that steady of a hand 😂

Fun how you guys over the pond has different name for the same thing here. I’ve never heard them call that Steve you learn something every day thanks. I’ve heard of Tippers because of the little Matchbox dump trucks.

Thanks Jeff I appreciate it.

Had a little bench time tonight. I hand painted the side boards, repainted by hand the Tanks and steps, Air cleaner and the Luberfiner. Maybe I’ll get more done tomorrow night.

It’s ok Steve I understand what you’re saying. I hope you can get your to know your shop soon I’m sure that’s frustrating for you. I’m hoping for some updates soon on this not much to go then it’s done.

Jeff that’s because it’s so dusty I was kinda ashamed of posting this dusty thing but now since think it looks natural I may just leave it. I’m glad you’re so intrigued with this truck makes me feel my efforts on this build is pay off.

Steve this is called center point steering where the front wheel is centered with the rear duals. I’m sorry but “no front brakes” has nothing to do with the positioning of the wheel or the Hub Oiler. The theory behind this to make the handling and steering better on curves and high crowned roads. I’ve drove several trucks and my Autocar I had with no front brakes and they were not Center point steering. This was a special order from the factory. Looks good and I like all the extra effort you give these 1/32 models.

Yes I had to double check my pics and I did put it on there 😂 your starting to show your age my friend don’t feel bad I do this at least twice a day. You have so many great builds I was disappointed when I seen you haven’t been working on “Caboverdose” Hope to have this done soon not much left.

Yes it does you just can’t get enough of them Scott.
