This is a friend of mine's truck, he has taken incredible pride in putting this sharp truck together. He has dubbed it "Miss Sally", a tribute to a friends ailing wife. It may not be fancy, certainly not a Chicken Hauler... But I know I cannot keep from saying how great it looks... As he says "Nothing is classier on a truck than red with black fenders".

Joe Enriquez's "Eastern Express Specialized Carriers" is based out of New Egypt, NJ. The fleet is mostly a heavy haul operation, with this W900L, a couple of T800W's and T600's.


Now let me ask you this, Does anything standout about the truck? Need a clue? My clue would be of little help anyways... 8) :P :D

Looks like a very detailed model.

Looks like a very detailed model.

Ok, you guys are right... I started thinking a background like that would be very hard to do on a real truck photo...
Here is whats amazing (IMO)

The model is 1/87 scale (HO if you know model trains)
that means this truck is about 4" long, 1-1/8" wide and 1-1/2" tall.
This truck is no bigger than a typical cell phone...

Here is more of this guys modeling:

It is a hobby of mine to build 1/87 models. I started with scale model trains, but now I am building scale model trucks... I think I am getting better too, but Joe Enriquez's stuff is astounding....
Here's my stuff:

The site in general:

We are up to nearly 250 galleries of model vehicles (mostly trucks)... There tends to be a new gallery once a week...

In closing, I will leave with a picture of one of my models...

It is a California Department of Forestry (CDF) Dozer and Dozer Transporter. The Dozer is a D5N dressed to CDF's requirements as a frontline unit. The semi-tractor is a International 7300 spec'd to CDF requirments. It includes the lowboy ramps, a headache rack and several emergency lights. The lowboy is a generic disconnect, 50 tonner.
