Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Autocar C-100 Truck Tractor & Lowboy Trailer - By John Soehner


First-time contributor John Soehner tell us this is one of the more interesting heavy haulers he has created. John stripped the cab from a Norscot Peterbilt tractor chassis and installed a Sheepscot Autocar C-100 long hood cab, Sheepscot headache rack, and Sheepscot Silent Hoist. 24" Sheepscot tires were installed on the front of the model to give a tougher look to the model as well. The gooseneck lowboy trailer was scratchbuilt using a Promotex container chassis that was reconfigured with sheet styrene into the resulting trailer. The trailer was made about 10 years ago and pulled from storage when the Autocar tractor was built.
