SO I "robbed the rear chassie from a second GHQ log truck kit to do a build,SO what do i build from the kit that was "robbbed"? a petebuilt tracotor !! I went to the parts box and got a fifth wheel plate from a GHQ yard mule built the base for it added the headache rack from the kit moved some things around to make things fit,Cut some BLMA deck tread plating and I have a tractor! This is going to be black and silver.

Showcase OTR in N scale,I added GHQ handrails just because

Next few shots are GHQ log trucks that where bashed into tractors,Got the fifth wheel plate out of the parts box and next just shimed of the decking under them,added BLAM deck plating and some next P.E.parts and other things I just wanted to.

I used D&RGW orange paint by TUR-COLOR,cam out pretty good I think.

Last picture is the GHQ LowBoy,I added a wooden deck and then I used the boom from the GHQ log loader which was from a re-build for someone I used the damaged boom for the load,one reason not to throw stuff away.
