Keep On Truck'n!

So I’ve been digging thru some more boxes lately and finding things that I forgot I had, one is full of various trucks, trailers, etc.
Scale model trucks are a big part of model railroading and even a hobby on its own so let’s see what you’ve got!
 
Here’s a couple of HO Athearn Kenworths straight out of the box, they’ll get some detailing shortly.
The trailers are by Trucks and stuff. I moved the ladders from the front to the rear, they can be found in both positions in real life. I also filed down the king pins to fit into the Athearn fifth wheels.

Those are really cool. One of my uncles is a truck driver, so I can definitely appreciate this photo.
 
Got to have a few trucks around the layout.
I have travelled around the North of England (as a passenger) in Archbold's vans.
Then listened to many 'driver's tales' from John Thompson. He drove for W.A. Glendinning's of Consett. A model of his wagon is the loaded flatbed.
