Anyone from Fairbanks Alaska or that area? I have a project that I want to do and it involves building a scale model of the Sno-Freighter. I understand that it is parked outside Fairbanks along the highway. I need a lot of pictures and all the measurements that I can get. Any help would be appreciated. I contacted the new parent company that now owns the line, but info on a vehicle built in the 50's in hard to find. Anyone that can help me please contact me at pantherone56@gmail.com
