Loads of videos on you tube! Peterborough Truckfest, is the UK's largest. The massive sheds display the Truck models, the set ups are great, and it was there that I wanted to get into building rigs. Every year someone famous is there, think last year, which I did not go to, was the Lady from Ice Road truckers she went!

Anyway, stop going on Sharkey, Espeefan, that quality of the work you are making is top work mate, really nice clean work on the step up frame piece!
Thanks Sharkey. I never really knew about the All American Toys Co. trucks until one day my friend Craig turned me onto them. He said 'I wonder if it could be RC'ed'. It would be about a two years later before I figured out the answer.

Thanks Aaron. My Wedico Peterbilt is mostly sidelined, and this Kenworth is now front and center! The idea is to put a truck together a little bit quicker, and this one should be simpler then the Peterbilt. Trucks of the '50s era were quite a bit simpler! Hopefully that will carry over to the model.
