8-)Hi there. My name is Ray. I'm 30 years old and I live in Noel, MO. I make my living as an owner operator leased to a flatbed carrier and I travel all 48 states. My 1/24-5 scale rigs rack up miles right along with me since I do my building on the road, mostly. Below are some pix of my last build. This is the first restoration of a model I ever did. It is the Autocar Dump Truck kit, converted into a tractor. Modifications include turbocharging the engine, the Spicer Main/Auxiliary transmissions from an old W 925 kit, as well as detailing the air brake system. The trailer is basically box stock for now. I still have to install a tarp, and build the other trailer, as this will be a Michigan Train. Hope you enjoyed the pix. Ray
