So, if the D&H were truly still around today, what would their MOW trucks look like? Well, based on the photos I see on sites such as The D&H Virtual Museum, I think they'd look something like this.
I started with an International Crew Cab dump truck by Boley, and removed the dump body. I started building the tool boxes, compressor, light-duty crane, hose reel, and spotlights from scraps of styrene and spare parts. A quick coat of grimy black ( I have yet to see a railroad with sparkling diamond plate tool boxes! ) finishes it off. I figure at least they keep the cabs clean. I have another of these, as well as several stakebody trucks and single cab dump trucks which will all get similar treatments in the coming months.
Oh, and a CR Ballast hopper - Fun as well!
