ADM Corn Syrup Trailers (pic heavy)

Ignorance is Patriotic
I haven't had the opportunity to post here much, but I recently completed a project that I'd like to share. I started with some of the new HO scale Trucks n' Stuff petroleum trailers and modified them into corn syrup trailers for an ADM corn syrup bulk transfer terminal. Although these are not prototypical, I do believe they make great stand-ins. I used N scale ADM decals from Microscale to fit the trailers, and printed my own mudflaps. Each trailer will be assigned a Peterbilt 386 tractor for which I made custom ADM decals for the door. Both tractor and trailer are from Trucks n' Stuff.

Total of 5 trailers, in two different paint schemes as you will see in the pics below. Mainly the placement of the red/white reflective striping is the difference between the schemes. Again, these are petroleum trailers and in the prototype world (to the best of my knowledge) NOT used for corn syrup or vegetable oil, but I think they are great stand-ins and look really convincing parked next to a string of Atlas corn syrup tank cars. Enjoy!

Sorry for all the pics, but I hope you enjoyed!
 
No need to apologize for all the pictures. They look incredible!

I love the shine coming off of the tank bodies. They look almost like the real things.
