On the subject of MOW trucks, here are a few of mine. All custom built by James Steiner.

DM&E and Canadian Pacific Section Trucks
Union Pacific Section, Welder, Signal Maintainer and Material Handler Trucks. Still have to add decals to the UP trucks.

Wow, some Great looking trucks. Look real. I have some Boley trucks that I bought off Ebay last year that I should add some stuff to. I decaled all of them w/RR names.

Amazing work gents! I sold a bunch of my already finished trucks and equipment on eBay. Im shifting gears from highway maint to MOW as it leaves more to the imagination. Ive got some left overs that I'm currently outfitting at the moment, I'll post when finished.

Found this... Thought I'd share.

It looks like you can order them customized with the logos and printing that you want.

The parent company is Tonkin Replicas

They make HO, S, and 1:53 scale trucks.

Here's 2 of my latest and maybe last for a while. I have a few more left in various stages. These are not finished, the still need paint, weathering and some more details. Again, more blurry pics, but I can't fix that just yet.
The first is a Boley crew cab and frame with a Matchbox Aux. light truck with the Mack cab removed. The second is another Boley crew cab with an Athearn crane and flatbed body.

Also, finished these for my fathers Conrail fleet. He's gonna add hi rails to them at soem point along with some decals.

After some paint, details, and some spare parts digging, I finished these DOT trucks tonight.

Brian, the latest DOT Trucks look great! Where did you get the construction signs? or did you make those?

Thank you! Heres a link to the signs. http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCALELIKE-H...761801?pt=Model_RR_Trains&hash=item4cfd095549 . A bunch of my trucks have them for realism. They are easy to cut from the sheet and super glue to anything. The company makes alot of different ones for many different scales.

Thank you. I enjoy building these trucks soo much. I'm not sure what the draw is, but its got me hooked.

 

[Midnught Special]

yea I agree id love to get some my self looking great!

 

[badguy87]

Thanks. I'm finishing up one more DOT truck and completed the details on the white flood light truck. I will post pictures before I finish for the night. I really want to replace the cab on the white one. Maybe to a 7600. It may look better and certainly more modern.

Here they are, again I apologize for the blurry pictures:

Here's my latest project in the works. I'm thinking about chopping the boom arms to make it look more practical.

 

[wheeler1963]

Brian, or you can redo it like I did this one.

 

[badguy87]

Thanks Jerome. That is a good idea. But I want to keep the bucket portion. I've got plenty of custom crane trucks. No buckets.

 

[badguy87]

Finished

Brian, your camera can't focus that close to the model. Hold the camera a couple feet away from the model and they won't be so blurry
