Not just a one trick pony!

I got a hold of  a couple of trucks that I wanted to convert into grain trucks.
The first one was from the US, mini metals?  The second from Europe a Busch brand.


This truck was given to me by a friend to play with.
I built a tray and grain bin from pictures of several truck similar on the Internet.


The completed unit prior to painting.


After paint and a little weathering.


Pressed into service.  Thankfully it didn't break down on the way to the silos!




Another truck of my own.
I removed the tipper tray it was supplied with.


New mudflaps installed.


The completed grain bin.


It just needs a lick of paint to stop the rust setting in.
